| 'Call It Evil': Philosopher Susan Neiman on Why Moral Clarity Matters in the Trump Era We speak with moral philosopher Susan Neiman, author of the new book Call It Evil: Understanding the Trump Era. Neiman argues that evil -- far from being an outdated religious concept -- is a vital way to understand how injustice works in the world. The Trump administration’s abusive policies have been aided by a general reluctance to call them out as evil, part of how people are “brainwashed ' by the idea that morality is for losers, suckers, fools,” she says. |
