In the past the discourse about evil in our religious, philosophic and literary traditions has provoked thinking, questioning and inquiry. But today the appeal to evil is being used as a political tool to obscure complex issues, block serious thinking and stifle public discussion and debate. We are now confronting a clash of mentalities, not a clash of civilizations. One mentality is drawn to absolutes, moral certainties, and simplistic dichotomies of good and evil. The other seriously questions an appeal to absolutes in politics and criticizes the simplistic division of the world into the forces of evil and the forces of good. In The Abuse of Evil Bernstein challenges the claim that without an appeal to absolutes, we lack the grounds for acting decisively in fighting our enemies. The post 9/11 abuse of evil corrupts both democratic politics and religion. The stakes are high in this clash of mentalities in shaping how we think and act in the world today - and in the future. -- Publisher description.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Good and evil.</subfield><subfield code="9">5238</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Terrorism and mass media.</subfield><subfield code="9">5239</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Religion and politics.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Good and evil.</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="0">(OCoLC)fst00944894</subfield><subfield code="9">5238</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Religion and politics.</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="0">(OCoLC)fst01093842</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Terrorism and mass media.</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="0">(OCoLC)fst01148149</subfield><subfield code="9">5239</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Good and evil.</subfield><subfield code="2">nli</subfield><subfield code="9">5238</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Terrorism</subfield><subfield code="x">Religious aspects.</subfield><subfield code="2">nli</subfield><subfield code="9">5240</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Religion and politics.</subfield><subfield code="2">nli</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Online version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Bernstein, Richard J.</subfield><subfield code="t">Abuse of evil.</subfield><subfield code="d">Malden, Mass. : Polity Press, 2005</subfield><subfield code="w">(OCoLC)607769023</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="942" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="2">udc</subfield><subfield code="c">BK</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="952" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="0">0</subfield><subfield code="1">0</subfield><subfield code="2">udc</subfield><subfield code="4">0</subfield><subfield code="6">232BER</subfield><subfield code="7">0</subfield><subfield code="9">35721</subfield><subfield code="a">CSSSC</subfield><subfield code="b">CSSSC</subfield><subfield code="d">2022-09-27</subfield><subfield code="e">Gifted by Partha Chatterjee</subfield><subfield code="l">0</subfield><subfield code="o">2:32BER</subfield><subfield code="p">G-7319</subfield><subfield code="r">2022-09-27 00:00:00</subfield><subfield code="w">2022-09-27</subfield><subfield code="y">BK</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="999" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="c">32325</subfield><subfield code="d">32325</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

Since 9/11 politicians, preachers, conservatives and the media are all speaking about evil. In the past the discourse about evil in our religious, philosophic and literary traditions has provoked thinking, questioning and inquiry. But today the appeal to evil is being used as a political tool to obscure complex issues, block serious thinking and stifle public discussion and debate. We are now confronting a clash of mentalities, not a clash of civilizations. One mentality is drawn to absolutes, moral certainties, and simplistic dichotomies of good and evil. The other seriously questions an appeal to absolutes in politics and criticizes the simplistic division of the world into the forces of evil and the forces of good. In The Abuse of Evil Bernstein challenges the claim that without an appeal to absolutes, we lack the grounds for acting decisively in fighting our enemies. The post 9/11 abuse of evil corrupts both democratic politics and religion. The stakes are high in this clash of mentalities in shaping how we think and act in the world today - and in the future. -- Publisher description.
