Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In philosophy, evil has been discussed in a variety of contexts and throughout the history of thought. Whereas some connotate "absolutely bad" and "morally blameworthy" with that concept, others argue that evil is part of our daily performances. In this seminar, we will read historic and current theories that explore and explain "evil" in the context of philosophy. The seminar will give a broad survey of key texts. It is the goal to gather a differentiated perspective on the meaning and contexts of the debates on "evil". This also includes some references to approaches in psychology.

The Seminar will be held in English.
