This project begins with the premise that the concept of evil, once relegated to the background of public discourse, has become prominent in our current vocabulary. While evil involves a highly charged, potentially destructive rhetorical power, it is precisely this potential that necessitates an exploration into what it is we mean when we use the term. Thus, this project seeks to explore what it is we undergo in the event itself and why we respond to it the way we do. As concrete phenomenon, evil speaks to the difficulty we have in bringing certain people and events into our understanding of the world and our place within it; for it is an aspect of evil that it exceeds our capacity to give it meaning.Subjects--Topical Terms:

This project begins with the premise that the concept of evil, once relegated to the background of public discourse, has become prominent in our current vocabulary. While evil involves a highly charged, potentially destructive rhetorical power, it is precisely this potential that necessitates an exploration into what it is we mean when we use the term. Thus, this project seeks to explore what it is we undergo in the event itself and why we respond to it the way we do. As concrete phenomenon, evil speaks to the difficulty we have in bringing certain people and events into our understanding of the world and our place within it; for it is an aspect of evil that it exceeds our capacity to give it meaning.

I begin with two thinkers that address the most salient aspects of our experience of evil. As the first 'moment' in the event of evil, Emmanuel Levinas and Elaine Scarry offer powerful insights into the nature of evil as excessivity through their respective analyses of the nature of extreme suffering and physical pain. Intentionality in evil is explored in chapter two, utilizing the work of Hannah Arendt on the banality of evil and Elizabeth Anscombe on the concept of intention. Arendt's work sets up the problem of intention in human action, while Anscombe effectively argues that intention can only be understood as a form of description whose nature is revealed by asking certain kinds of 'why?' questions. In chapter three, the final aspect of evil to be explored as phenomenon is the malignancy of evil and what it means to say that evil is malignant intentional action. This chapter explores what it means to call something 'malignant,' to intentionally cause harm, and when causing injury is not malignant.

Ultimately, this project offers no solutions to the problem of evil; rather it presents possible starting points for further exploration into a complex and ongoing human issue and help create the space in which we can start to delve more deeply into the terrain evil creates for us and how we might find our way through it.
