From Roman Polanski's \u003ci\u003eThe Ninth Gate\u003c\/i\u003e to J. R. R. Tolkien's \u003ci\u003eThe Silmarillion\u003c\/i\u003e to Bram Stoker's \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e to Darth Vader to Al Pacino's iconic performance in \u003ci\u003eThe Devil's Advocate\u003c\/i\u003e, this book demonstrates that a little devil goes a long way. From humorous appearances, as in Kevin Smith's film \u003ci\u003eDogma\u003c\/i\u003e and Chuck Palahniuk's novels \u003ci\u003eDamned\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDoomed\u003c\/i\u003e, to more villainous appearances, such as Gabriel Byrne's cold outing as Satan in \u003ci\u003eEnd of Days\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Devil in Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e proves that the Devil comes in many forms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAre there any good arguments for the actual existence of the Devil? Does demonic evil thrive in Gotham City? Can humans really be accountable for all evil? Which truths about the Devil are actual facts? Is Milton correct, in that the Devil believes he is doing good? Through the lenses of Jung, Kant, Kundera, Balkan, Plato, Bradwardine, Aristotle, Hume, Blackburn, Descartes, Lavey, Thoreau, and Aquinas, \u003ci\u003eThe Devil and Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e takes a philosophical look at one of time's greatest characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Arp\u003c\/b\u003e is a philosopher and author\/editor of numerous books and articles on philosophy and philosophy and pop culture.
