EVIL: A CHALLENGE TO PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY; TRANS. BY JOHN BOWDEN

the long version

"What is the origin of evil? Where does what we term evil come from? According to Paul Ricoeur, to think through evil is to think through fallibility: because human freedom is summed up as existence prior to evil. Deriving from a lecture given in Lausanne in 1985, this small text adds to the immense oeuvre of this philosopher who is not regarded as a theologian but whose thinking readily shares some kinship with certain characteristics of Protestantism."--BOOK JACKET.
