Facing Evil
Kekes, John
Facing Evil John Kekes - U.S.A. Princeton University Press 1990 - 250tr. Hardcover 25 cm
Arguing that the prevalence of evil presents a fundamental problem for our secular sensibility, John Kekes develops a conception of character-morality as a response. He shows that the main sources of evil are habitual, unchosen actions produced by our character defects and that we can increase our control over the evil we cause by cultivating a reflective temper.
