loginAs my friends and family know only too well, this book has been a long time coming. I must thank Richard Bernstein for planting the seed, by asking me to contribute to a Hannah Arendt Symposium while I was teaching at the New School for Social Research, in the autumn of 1996. The topic, ‘Evil and Responsibility’, resonated. Over time I became aware that I could use the idea of evil to access strata of our modern moral and existential orientation that often lie concealed, and to prise open significant rifts in the geology of the culture.
