Publisher's Synopsis
The Devil of Darkness or Evil in the Light of Evolution is a book written by Gerald Massey, which explores the concept of evil in the context of evolution. Massey argues that the traditional religious understanding of evil as a supernatural force is outdated and that a modern understanding of evil must take into account the evolutionary origins of human behavior.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the evolution of evil. Massey begins by examining the origins of evil in the natural world, arguing that it is a necessary component of the struggle for survival. He then turns his attention to the evolution of human behavior, arguing that evil is a product of our evolutionary history and that it is deeply ingrained in our nature.Throughout the book, Massey draws on a wide range of sources, including mythology, psychology, and anthropology, to support his arguments. He also discusses the role of religion in shaping our understanding of evil and suggests that a more scientific approach is needed to fully understand this complex phenomenon.Overall, The Devil of Darkness or Evil in the Light of Evolution is a thought-provoking and challenging book that offers a fresh perspective on the nature of evil. It is recommended for anyone interested in the intersection of science, philosophy, and religion.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Gerald Massey's Lectures, by Gerald Massey.
