Educating for a Morality of Evil --Notes --Selected Bibliography --IndexHuman beings love to fictionalize evil--to terrorize each other with stories of defilement, horror, excruciating pain, and divine retribution. Beneath the surface of bewitchment and half-sick amusement, however, lies the realization that evil is real and that people must find a way to face and overcome it. What we require, Carl Jung suggested, is a morality of evil--a carefully thought out plan by which to manage the evil in ourselves, in others, and in whatever deities we posit. This book is not written from a Jungian perspective, but it is nonetheless an attempt to describe a morality of evil. One suspects that descriptions of evil and the so-called problem of evil have been thoroughly suffused with male interests and conditioned by masculine experience. This result could hardly have been avoided in a sexist culture, and recognizing the truth of such a claim does not commit us to condemn every male philosopher and theologian who has written on the problem. It suggests, rather, that we may get a clearer view of evil if we take a different standpoint. The standpoint I take here will be that of women; that is, I will attempt to describe evil from the perspective of women's experience.Good and evilWomenFeminismaging.angel in the house.cruelty.cultural narratives.domesticity.ethical terror.eve.evil.femininity.feminism.feminist theory.gender roles.gender studies.gender.good and evil.horror.human evil.jung.lilith.literary criticism.literature.madonna whore dichotomy.madonna.masculinity.morality.motherhood.myth.nonfiction.pain.patriarchy.philosophy.problem of evil.religion.retribution.social science.supernatural.terror.terrorism.vengeance.women as evil.womens studies.Good and evil.Women.Feminism.170/.88042Noddings Nel915780MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778591303321Women and evil3782535UNINA
