Notes on Evil by Steven Warwick explores the concept of 'evil' through the lens of philosophy and psychology. Drawing on examples from cinema, music and politics, the book examines how societies construct enemies to externalise and attempt to solve their problems. Warwick questions whether labelling something as evil truly addresses social ills or merely leads to superficial fixes that obscure deeper inequalities. The work offers insightful reflections on the social frameworks shaping contemporary conversations about good and evil, aiming to move beyond entrenched divisions.

What is evil? How is it categorised, understood and used? Surveying examples from cinema, music and politics, Notes on Evil provides observations on the mechanisms by which societies construct enemies in a collective bid to expel their 'problems'. But does the label of evil help to rid us of social ills? Or does it just lead to superficial purges that distract us from deeper forms of inequity?
