Evil is as evil does – and it’s still doing it

None of this, obviously, adds up. But then nothing is absolute when it comes to evil. Not that this puts off Terry Eagleton. Having published more than 40 books, he has decided to tackle the subject in his latest treatise, On Evil.

Eagleton left Oxbridge several years ago. He lectures at NUI Galway in addition to other commitments at University of Notre Dame and Lancaster University.
