(1998) Philosophies of nature: the human dimension, Dordrecht, Springer.
Evil comes into the world after the creation of human beings, who are, in most mythologies, at first pure and form an integral part of the primordial unity of natural life. Then, however, something happens, and human beings set themselves apart, rupture the cosmic and communal coherence, by developing conscious knowledge and acting no longer with but vis-à-vis the universe. At this time good and evil first appear, in the human mind and thus in the world.
