Love and the problems of evil / Robert Merrihew Adams -- Wrong that is right? The paradox of the 'Felix culpa' / Geoffrey Scarre -- Love and emotional reactions to necessary evils / Thaddeus Metz -- Shadows of goodness/ Pedro Alexis Tabensky -- "Moral beauty happens" / Richard H.Bell -- Murdochian evil and striving to be good / Heather Widdows -- Tragedy and reparation / Elisa Galgut -- The psychology of evil: a contribution from psychoanalysis/ Michael Lacewing -- Good citizens and moral heroes / Adam Morton -- The moral significance of evil / John Kekes -- The virtues of the useless: on goodness, evil and beauty / Samantha Vice.

This collection explores the controversial and perhaps even abject idea that evils, large andsmall, human and natural, may have a central positive function to play in our lives. Religious thinkers from the Christian tradition have been concerned with the basic ideas explored in this collection for centuries, but very little systematic work has been done to explore this idea from the secular point of view. This collection is an important first step in filling this gap in the literature and, as such, it is a central reading for all those who are interested in better understanding key issues pertaining to human ethical existence, broadly conceived.
