On Evil Eagleton Terry
For many enlightened, liberal-minded thinkers today, and for most on the political left, evil is an outmoded concept. In this witty, accessible study, the prominent Marxist thinker Terry Eagleton launches a surprising defence of the reality of evil, drawing on literary, theological, and psychoanalytic sources to suggest that evil, no mere medieval artefact, is a real phenomenon with palpable force in our contemporary world.
