Real Evil

This book undertakes a multidisciplinary inquiry into the nature, origins, and operations of evil as a metaphysical, structural, and psychological phenomenon. Departing from traditional moral frameworks that reduce evil to individual acts of cruelty or moral failure, the text situates evil as an ontological force—at times preceding being, at other times emerging from systems, language, desire, and the very architecture of order.
