Deliver us from evil: The case for scepticism

Cole, Phillip

Abstract

This chapter critically examines the philosophical arguments against the case for evil scepticism that I first outlined in my book, The Myth of Evil. It re-assesses and strengthens the case for scepticism by addressing some of the latest attempts to argue that evil can be an explanatory concept.
