Summary
Until recently philosophers have discussed evil primarily in theoretical contexts, pondering why a perfect God does not abolish evil. Evil, Political Violence, and Forgiveness: Essays in Honor of Claudia Card reflects a burgeoning interest among philosophers in a broader array of ethical and political questions concerning evils. Written in tribute to Claudia Card-whose distinguished academic career has culminated in the development of a new theory of evil-this collection of essays explores the concepts of evil, the multifaceted harms of brutal political violence, and the appropriateness of forgiveness as an ethical response to evils.
