Moral philosopher Susan Neiman makes the argument for naming and confronting evil as essential to preserving democracy in an age of demagogues.
Call It Evil is a bold reckoning with one of the most fraught words in our moral vocabulary. Philosopher Susan Neiman argues that "evil" is not a relic of the past or a term to be avoided, but a vital lens through which to understand the threats facing democracy today.
From the rise of Donald Trump to the erosion of shared values, Neiman examines how our reluctance to name evil has left public life vulnerable to demagogues who twist morality to their own ends. Drawing on history―from fascism to the moral failures of recent US leaders―she shows how the normalization of wrongdoing corrodes trust, distorts justice, and endangers our future. This is a book for listeners who refuse to accept moral confusion as the price of political life, and who believe that confronting evil is the first step toward renewal.
