These days, to my surprise, people want to talk to me about evil.
In a Substack essay last year, and in my book The Bodies of Others, I raised a question about existential, metaphysical darkness.
I concluded that I had looked at the events of the past two and a half years using all of my classical education, my critical thinking skills, my knowledge of Western and global history and politics; and that, using these tools, I could not explain the years 2020-present.
Indeed I could not explain them in ordinary material, political or historical terms at all.

Ein langer Artikel für das Wochenende. Ein Versuch von Naomi Wolf all das Böse in der Welt aus der Sicht jüdischer und christlicher Religion zu erklären. Nicht leicht zu lesen, aber ein sehr interessanter Blick auf das augenblickliche gesellschaftliche “Problem”.
