Imágenes del bien y del mal

In this work, written during the Second World War, Martin Buber sheds light on the mystery of evil. Through interpretations of ancient Iranian myths and biblical exegesis, he traces the evolution of the understanding of evil—from those who viewed it as the product of indecision to those who recognized that it can be chosen with full awareness. Buber maintains that good and evil are not merely two opposing principles, nor is evil simply the absence of good; rather, they are radically distinct realities that coexist and contend within the human soul. *Images of Good and Evil* invites a rediscovery of the meaning behind ancient cosmogonies and great biblical narratives as expressions of the fundamental questions that have accompanied humanity throughout the ages. It is a meditation on the human condition that continues to resonate with the contemporary reader.
