Ebook: The Meaning of Evil

The Meaning of Evil is one of the most profound yet accessible books written on this immensely important (and never more timely) topic. Deeply immersed in the highest traditions of realist philosophy and theology, Journet addresses the truly important issues surrounding the nature of evil and the burning questions demanded of us by its existence and (on occasion) seeming dominance in our world. Topics addressed include; the definitions of evil throughout history; the actual forms of evil--including the two forms of evil in man; and the inescapeable question: "Does evil come from God?" Journet also discusses the temptation to suicide and why the existence of evil actually proves, not disproves, the existence of an all-good God. This new edition of The Meaning of Evil (first published in English in 1963) also contains, as an extended introduction, a major re-assessment of Journet and his impressive corpus of work, as well as a theoretical treatment of Journet's concept of evil in the universe and as an ever-present element in the human condition.
