Sinopsis

This collection explores the controversial and perhaps even abject idea that evils, large and small, human and natural, may have a central positive function to play in our lives. Religious thinkers from the Christian tradition have been concerned with the basic ideas explored in this collection for centuries, but very little systematic work has been done to explore this idea from the secular point of view. This collection is an important first step in filling this gap in the literature and, as such, it is a central reading for all those who are interested in better understanding key issues pertaining to human ethical existence, broadly conceived.
