The Roots of Moral Evil

In the realm of moral philosophy, Dietrich von Hildebrand’s Ethics has long been considered a cornerstone text, thought to represent the whole of Hildebrand’s profound insights on moral evil; yet, The Roots of Moral Evil, Martin Cajthaml’s latest scholarly endeavor, reveals there is much more to Hildebrand’s discourse on moral evil than was previously known.

We find in this volume many significant developments and amplifications of Hildebrand’s published thoughts on moral evil. The result is as if a dialogue of Plato, long thought to be lost, has been found.
John F. Crosby, from the Foreword
