Women and Evil
Human 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 womens experience.
