Translation of La symbolique du mal, the 2d pt. of Finitude et culpabilité, which was published as v. 2 of the author's Philosophie de la volonté.
Includes bibliographical references.
'According to Ricoeur, the most primal and spontaneous symbols of evil are defilement, sin and guilt....Ricoeur moves from the elementary symbols of evil to the rich world of myths,...and he ends by suggesting that the clue to the relation between philosophy and mythology is to be found in the aphorism "The symbol gives rise to the thought."'
