Despite its overuse in movies, political speeches, and news reports, the word \"evil\" is generally seen as either flagrant rhetoric or else an outdated concept: a medieval holdover with no bearing on our complex everyday reality. In \u003ci\u003eA philosophy of Evil\u003c\/i\u003e, however, acclaimed philosopher Lars Svendsen argues that evil remains a concrete moral problem: that we're all its victims, and all guilty of committing evil acts. Taking up this problem--how do we speak about evil? \u003ci\u003eA Philosophy of Evil\u003c\/i\u003e treats evil as an ordinary aspect of contemporary life, with implications that are moral, political, and above all, practical. Because, as Svendsen says, \"Evil should never be justifies, should never be explained away--it should be fought.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLars Svendsen is professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Bergen, Norway.
