Mary Midgley
In this book Mary Midgley looks into the darkness of the human soul. "She sets out to delineate, not so much the nature of wickedness as its actual sources. Midgley's analysis proves that the capacity for real wickedness in an inevitable part of human nature. This is not, however, a blanket acceptance of evil. She provides us with a framework that accepts its existence yet offers humankind the possibility of rejecting this part of our nature. Out of this dark journey she returns with an offering to us: an understanding of human nature that enhances our very humanity. To read Wickedness is to understand Mary Midgley's reputation as one of the world's greatest moral philosphers." -- book cover
