Critical Ponerology (WHAT IS “EVIL”?) with Kenneth MacKendrick

<p>What is evil? Who is evil? Does evil exist? Who decides? Can we scream over turkey at grandma’s house? Let’s chat Critical Ponerology with scholar, professor, author of <i>Evil: A Critical Primer,</i> and a gem of a person, Dr. Kenneth MacKendrick of the University of Manitoba. He’s been teaching courses on the notion of evil for 25 years and it’s a much deeper rabbit hole than you’d ever expect. So rub your fingers together and enjoy a discussion about different cultural approaches to evil, if your toddler is evil, vampires, angry mobs seeking vigilante justice, news personalities saying unhinged things, and subjects vs. objects. Also: why you should be nicer to your coffee table. </p><p>Get Dr. MacKendrick’s book, <i>Evil: A Critical Primer</i>, on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Evil-Critical-Primer-Concepts-Religion/dp/1781796181" target="_blank">Amazon</a> or <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/evil-a-critical-primer-kenneth-g-mackendrick/19719624" target="_blank">Bookshop.or...
