Living With The Devil by Stephen Batchelor
A Meditation on Good and Evil
A thoughtful examination of human moral ambiguity that treats the figure of the devil as a psychological and social reality rather than a supernatural being, arguing that evil springs from ignorance, attachment and fear. Drawing on Buddhist teachings, personal reflection, psychology and literature, it calls for honest acknowledgement of our shadow, ethical responsibility for harm, and practical practices of attention and compassion to transform destructive tendencies. The book reframes ethics as pragmatic and relational, rooted in interdependence and the cultivation of moral imagination rather than in metaphysical explanations of sin.
