Reviews

Russell demonstrates that while certain familiar conceptions of evil are woefully inadequate, it is still possible to formulate simple and useful definitions of what it is for actions and people to be evil, and these definitions make it clear why caution is called for in labelling people evil. Anyone interested in ideas will enjoy and profit from reading this book. * Professor Michael Smith, Princeton University *
