Project
From Plato to Augustine, from Nietzsche to Levinas, the enigma of evil has always tormented us. We want to know where it comes from and what leads us to commit it. We ask ourselves how to respond to evil. We want to explain what the role of religion is in the opposition to or, sometimes, in the inspiration of evil. More fundamentally, we wonder how we can deal with a reality in which evil is not only a threatening possibility, but also a pervasive phenomenon. (resumo)
