The Myth of Evil
By: Cole, Phillip
Published by: Edinburgh University Press
The Myth of Evil explores a contradiction: the belief that human beings cannot commit acts of pure evil, that they cannot inflict harm for its own sake, and the evidence that pure ‘evil’ truly is a human capacity. Acts of horror are committed not by inhuman ‘monsters’, but by ordinary human beings. This contradiction is clearest in the apparently ‘extreme’ acts of war criminals, terrorists, serial murderers, sex offenders and children who kill. Phillip Cole delves deep into our two, cosily established approaches to evil. There is the traditional approach where evil is a force which creates monsters in human shape. And there is the ‘enlightened’ perspective where evil is the consequence of the actions of misguided or mentally deranged agents. Cole rejects both approaches. Satan may have played a role in its evolution, but evil is really a myth we have created about ourselves. And to understand it fully, we must acknowledge this.

Normativität
By: Stemmer, Peter
Published by: Walter de Gruyter
The book deals with a central question for the understanding of reality and the way in which human beings relate to it. Humans are creatures that can deliberate and define their actions by virtue of deliberation. He who deliberates relates himself to elements of reality that speak for or against doing something, and that in some mysterious way require him to act in a certain fashion. This book investigates this normative reality and its ontology. There is no normativity in reality independent from us. How does it then come to be in the world? What are the conditions of its existence?
