The De Malo represents some of Aquinas' most mature thinking on goodness, badness, and human agency. In it he examines the full range of questions associated with evil: its origin, its nature, its relation to good, and its compatibility with the existence of an omnipotent, benevolent God. This edition offers Richard Regan's new, clear readable English translation, based on the Leonine Commission's authoritative edition of the Latin text. Brian Davies has provided an extensive introduction and notes. (Please note: this edition does not include the Latin text).

The martial arts world was never a peaceful place. Using the name of the martial arts world as proof of the great changes in the martial arts world and the rivers and seas could never stop. There were people who failed, and there were people who succeeded. In the current martial arts world, Shaolin and Wudang had long since lost their momentum. Instead, it was replaced by "One Sect, Two Families, Seven Great Families" and "Golden Blade, Evil Sword, Dark Claw, Mysterious Sky Pill Phoenix".The news of the demonic sect annihilating the entire sect in one night quickly spread to Wu Lin. However, no one dared to bring it up. It was a mistake that made everyone ashamed and not want to bring it up until fifteen years later.The struggle in the official arena had tempered his evil, and the gentle and loving wife had allowed him to recognize his conscience once again. She had brought him out of the darkness and made him into a powerful figure, and the women in the martial arts world had pulled his conscience back, allowing him to change the way he lived and become the true godfather of the martial arts world.

The code of conduct for a leading tech company famously says "Don't Be Evil." But what exactly is evil? Is it just badness by another name--the shadow side of good? Or is it something more substantive--a malevolent force or power at work in the universe? These are some of the ontological questions that philosophers have grappled with for centuries. But evil also raises perplexing epistemic and psychological questions. Can we really know evil? Does a victim know evil differently than a perpetrator or witness? What motivates evil-doers? Satan's rebellion, Iago's machinations, and Stalin's genocides may be hard to understand in terms of ordinary reasons, intentions, beliefs, and desires. But what about the more "banal" evils performed by technocrats in a collective: how do we make sense of Adolf Eichmann's self-conception as just an effective bureaucrat deserving of a promotion? Evil: A History collects thirteen essays that tell the story of evil in western thought, starting with its origins in ancient Hebrew wisdom literature and classical Greek drama all the way to Darwinism and Holocaust theory. Thirteen interspersed reflections contextualize philosophical developments by looking at evil through the eyes of animals, poets, mystics, witches, librettists, film directors, and even a tech product manager. Evil: A History will enlighten readers about one of the most alluring and difficult topics in philosophy and intellectual life, and will challenge their assumptions about the very nature of evil.

The Hill of Evil Counsel is a fusion of history and imaginative narrative, re-creating the twilight world of Jerusalem during the fading days of the British Mandate.

The second novel by Helmar Neubacher: Adolf Hitler »The Evil« - and the Revenge of the Billy Goat of Leonding Helmar Neubacher makes to a subject of discussion the »Evil« in the former “Fuehrer” of the German people and moreover gives answers to up to this day unanswered Questions: - What consequences on Hitler’s life did the bite of the »Billy Goat of Leonding« into the genitals of the then nine year old »Adi« have? - What influence did Hitler’s »Youth Years in Vienna« have on his personal development towards becoming Germany’s “Fuehrer”, as mankind knows him today – especially his visit to the Jewis whore Rebecca? - Where does Hitler’s unfathomable hatred and unrestrained will of destruction of Jews and everyone who didn’t follow his opinion come from? - Why, how and under which circumstances did his so dearly loved niece »Geli« Raubal die? Into the scene of action, the author integrates a highly intelligent species on a »far distant Earth«, which is observing the entire events on the Earth of the Humans with greatest of interest, without however intervening directly – and yet the millions of light years distant observers of the terrible happenings about Adolf Hitler show us - what they look like and - what feats they are capable of, resulting from their overwhelming technology. As a kind of gift they also solve the age-old secret of the origin of life on our earth and tell us people where we come from. Towards the end of the book, the author draws up a »scenario of terror«: H. Neubacher shows, how the then “Fuehrer” of the Germans nearly had managed by a hair’s breadth and without transition, in the year 1943 to provoke a 3rd World War from the 2nd World war and to cover the entire Earth with the fire of war. This novel was written in honour of a nearly unknown soldier of the 3rd Reich. The insignificant lance corporal Eugen Wasner in 1943 told his comrades on the Eastern Front the story of »The bite of the Billy Goat of Leonding«. He, Wasner, was present at the juvenile foul deed, when his school friend »Adi« urinated into the animal’s mouth. The Chancellor and Warlord Hitler terribly punished Wasner for his spreading of this story from childhood days. But the revenge of the abused animal kept catching up with the mighty “Fuehrer”, like a poetic justice, again and again during his entire life. A thrilling book ,which in the form of a novel, follows the historic events between 1919 and 1945 very vividly and informatively with a large number of new points of view and up to now unknown facts, endeavoring to help shed some light on the transfigured and mystical »picture of Hitler«.

People who helped exterminate Jews during the shoah (Hebrew for "holocaust") often claimed that they only did what was expected of them. Intrigued by hearing the same response from individuals who rescued Jews, David R. Blumenthal proposes that the notion of ordinariness used to characterize Nazi evil is equally applicable to goodness. In this provocative book, Blumenthal develops a new theory of human behavior that identifies the social and psychological factors that foster both good and evil behavior. Drawing on lessons primarily from the shoah but also from well-known obedience and altruism experiments, My Lai, and the civil rights movement, Blumenthal deftly interweaves insights from psychology, history, and social theory to create a new way of looking at human behavior. Blumenthal identifies the factors — social hierarchy, education, and childhood discipline — that shape both good and evil attitudes and actions. Considering how our religious and educational institutions might do a better job of encouraging goodness and discouraging evil, he then makes specific recommendations for cultivating goodness in people, stressing the importance of the social context of education. He reinforces his ideas through stories, teachings, and case histories from the Jewish tradition that convey important lessons in resistance and goodness. Appendices include the ethical code of the Israel Defense Forces, material on non-violence from the Martin Luther King, Jr., Center, a suggested syllabus for a Jewish elementary school, and a list of prosocial sources on the Web, as well as a complete bibliography. If people can commit acts of evil without thinking, why can’t even more commit acts of kindness? Writing with power and insight, Blumenthal shows readers of all faiths how we might replace patterns of evil with empathy, justice, and caring, and through a renewed attention to moral education, perhaps prevent future shoahs.

Even more so, he treated her like a long-term private pet and enjoyed her tears and pleas for mercy! Could it be that her love was destined to end in blood? NO, NO! Just that spying was enough to turn the demon into a docile sheep.

A deep-seated love, accompanied by several generations of grudges, was fated to be something he wanted. When the grudges were easily resolved, all that was left were the collisions of two hearts.
