Description
Susan Neiman traces the evolution of the problem of evil from the Lisbon earthquake to the twentieth century, challenging the assumption that modern philosophy has ignored the question of suffering. By examining the works of thinkers from Rousseau and Kant to Arendt and Camus, she argues that the struggle to understand evil is central to the development of modern moral and political thought.
