Engaging Evil : A Moral Anthropology, Hardback Book

Engaging Evil : A Moral Anthropology Hardback

Edited by William C. Olsen, Thomas Csordas

Part of the Methodology & History in Anthropology series

Hardback

Item not Available

Description

Anthropologists have expressed wariness about the concept of evil even in discussions of morality and ethics, in part because the concept carries its own cultural baggage and theological implications in Euro-American societies.

Addressing the problem of evil as a distinctly human phenomenon and a category of ethnographic analysis, this volume shows the usefulness of engaging evil as a descriptor of empirical reality where concepts such as violence, criminality, and hatred fall short of capturing the darkest side of human existence.
