Abstract

The essays in this volume provide rich fodder for reflection on topics that are of urgent interest to all thinking people. Each one suggests new ways to contemplate our own role(s) in the production and promotion of evil. The authors encourage the reader to be challenged, outraged, and disturbed by what you read here. The eighth gathering of Global Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness, which took place in Salzburg in March 2007, provided a look at evil past, present, and future, from a broad spectrum of disciplinary perspectives. Papers were presented on the Holocaust, genocide, violence, sadism, pædophilia, physical, verbal, and visual weapons of mass destruction, and on the effects of a variety of media on our apperception of and responses to evil. One of the overarching themes that emerged was the ethical role of the observer or witness to evil, the sense that all of our writings are, in an echo of Thomas Merton’s salient phrase, the conjectures of guilty bystanders. The notion of complicity was examined from a number of angles, and imbued the gathering with a sense of urgency: that our common goal was to engender change by raising awareness of the countless and ubiquitous ways in which evil can be actively or passively carried on and promoted. The papers selected for this volume provide a representative sample of the lively, provocative, and often disturbing discussions that took place over the course of that conference. This volume also contains a few papers from a sister conference, Cultures of Violence, which was held in Oxford in 2004. These papers have been included here because of their striking relevance to the themes that emerged in the Evil conference of 2007.

Abstract

Il n'y a d'éthique que des vérités. Ou plus précisément : il n'y a que l'éthique des processus de vérité, du labeur qui fait advenir en ce monde quelques vérités. L'éthique doit se prendre au sens supposé par Lacan quand il parle, s'opposant ainsi à Kant et au motif d'une morale générale, d'éthique de la psychanalyse. L'éthique n'existe pas. Il n'y a que l'éthique de (de la politique, de l'amour, de la science, de l'art).

Abstract

Im ersten Teil werden die Anfänge und Verzweigungen des Bösen dargestellt. Das Böse beschreibt schreckliche Taten und Unterlassungen und verweist auf eine Symbolik des Unreinen, Dunklen und Inferioren und auf die harten Realitäten von Knappheit und Konkurrenz; es spiegelt sich in Lasterkatalogen und in Ausdrucksformen des Neids, der Grausamkeit, des Hasses, der Zerstörungslust und des Fanatismus wider. Im zweiten Teil geht es um Formen der Etablierung des Bösen durch Gewohnheiten und Institutionen, um das Böse in kollektiver Mitwirkung, in der Exklusion und Marginalisierung, exzessiven Strafen und in der Despotie. Es gibt böse Gegenden und Anziehungspunkte und böse Zeiten wie Kriege. Administrative Massentötung richtet sich gegen Menschen und Tiere, das Böse wuchert auch im "Krieg gegen das Böse". Im dritten Teil werden Gegenkräfte des Bösen untersucht: Neben den präventiven Mitteln gibt es auch ein weites Spektrum der Nachverarbeitung des vergangenen Bösen durch angemessene Erinnerung, Schuldgefühle und Reue. Tadel und Strafe sind zweischneidige Antworten auf das Böse. Problematisch ist auch das Programm einer Umerziehung der menschlichen Natur. Anstelle von "Lösungen" zur Elimination des Bösen werden Korrektive wie z.B. ein moderater und konstruktiver Egoismus erwogen.

Abstract

The defining premise of the Relational Free Will Defense is the claim that authentic love requires free will. Many scholars, including Gregory Boyd and Vincent Brümmer, champion this claim. Best-selling books, such as Rob Bell’s Love Wins , echo that love “cannot be forced, manipulated, or coerced. It always leaves room for the other to decide.” The claim that love requires free will has even found expression in mainstream Hollywood films, including Frailty , Bruce Almighty , and The Adjustment Bureau . The analysis shows convincingly that the claim that authentic love requires free will, does not meet the criteria of consistency, compatibility with Scriptural sources, and the demands of concrete encounter with problems of moral evil.

Abstract

Until recently the subject of suffering and evil was neglected in the sociological world and was almost absent in Durkheimian studies as well. This book aims to fill the gap, with particular reference to the Durkheimian tradition, by exploring the different meanings that the concepts of evil and suffering have in Durkheim's works, together with the general role they play in his sociology. It also examines the meanings and roles of these concepts in relation to suffering and evil in the work of other authors within the group of the Année sociologique up until the beginning of World
