Greetings all, This coming Monday, April 21, 1.00-2.30 in the philosophy common room, Luke Russell from the University of Sydney will give a paper titled:
He Did It Because He Was Evil Abstract: In his book The Myth of Evil Phillip Cole argues that even if there were actual evil persons, evil would be a redundant,pseudo-explanatory concept, a psychological black-hole that is incapable of explaining why people do wrong. In this paper I defend the view that evil does have the requisite form to function as an explanation, and thus,if there are any actual evil actions or persons, evil will be explanatorily useful.
