 The concerns expressed in these passages are common in discussions of the nature and origins of evil. Call them Jaspersian concerns for short. They are second-order concerns about how we should conceive and speak of evil, especially when calling it “radical”. The concerns fall into two broad kinds: (1) concerns about exoticizing wrongdoing with excess-locutions like “evil” and “radical”; and (2) concerns about tainting people and things that are touched by such evil, beyond the straightforward condemnation of the perpetrators (for more on such concerns, see Card 2002, Cole 2006, and Calder 2013 [2018]).
