A comprehensive six-volume series that investigates how different cultures and eras have conceptualized wickedness, suffering, and moral wrongdoing. This specific volume focuses on the years 1450 to 1700, a transformative era marked by the Protestant Reformation, the rise of scientific inquiry, and the violent persecution of marginalized groups. The text provides a multidisciplinary overview, combining insights from philosophy, theology, and legal history to examine the period's most significant thinkers and events. It explores diverse topics such as witchcraft, the Inquisition, and the colonization of indigenous peoples, while analyzing the influential perspectives of figures like Shakespeare, Hobbes, and Calvin. Ultimately, the collection aims to offer an impartial and international assessment of how the definition of evil evolved during this formative stage of the modern world.
