The Many Faces of Evil: Historical Perspectives
Published in Library Binding by Routledge (2001)
Author: Amelie Oksenberg Rorty
Amazon base price: $115.00
Average review score:

A collection of interesting philosophical viewpoints on evil
The book has very well chosen excerpts that allow you to immerse yourself into a philosopher's viewpoint on evil by reading just a few excerpts. In this way the book is like a collection of intriguing essays that you can read at your leisure. The author's commentaries that accompany the essay however does not merit the same praise. They do not serve the function of introducing the reader to the essay and helping him to form an understanding of it. Because the commentaries assume previous knowledge of history of philosophy, readers with a small or a nonexistent background in the area will find these commentaries more confusing than helpful.
