This means that we should not expect to find shared or similar notions of evil across cultures. Addressing evil in a way that is both contextually specific and cross-culturally applicable, this primer breaks with moral conceptions of evil by redescribing it within a new framework of dangers and aversions (i.e., things that cause harm and things to avoid). This empirical, usable framework provides a new starting point for the study of religion, de-emphasizing things associated with evil (like the devil, wickedness, or a diabolic will) and focusing instead on attitudes and practices (like rituals of purity and impurity, notions of clean and dirty, or expressions of disgust). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamining cultural and cognitive aspects of classification, myth, ritual, emotions, and morality, Evil: A Critical Primer untethers colloquial conceptions of evil from an exclusively moral domain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 09, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52724308377907,"sku":"9781781796191","price":58.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Wr-Ngn4kcl9781781796191.webp?v=1782890367","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/evil-a-critical-primer-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
