Concerning "Pure Evil"

Posted on November 26, 2014

   Having just read Timothy Snyder's Bloodlands, I want to note that the Pure Evil piece contains several factual errors.  It is also probably the case that my philosophical argument is less than sound.  I don't intend to rewrite the piece to correct it, but merely wish to warn readers to take it with a pinch (at least) of salt.  However, I may work myself up to some comments about Bloodlands, a revealing and  in many ways a brilliant book. But I just finished it and want to think about it some more.  Meanwhile, Happy Holidays.
