Books in the Thinking in Action series

Adam Morton argues that any account of evil must help us understand three things: why evil occurs; why it often arises out of banal or everyday situations; and what we mean by evil. Using a wide variety of examples, he argues that evil occurs when internal, mental barriers against it break down.

Michael Dummett explores the confused and often unjust thinking on immigration. He questions the principles behind state policies and points out that they often conflict with refugees' rights as laid down by the Geneva Convention.
