Philosophical and theological reflections claim evil as the binary opposite of the good. This way of thinking cannot understand the evil of terror. To understand the nature of evil we need a poetic way of thinking. A poetic way of thinking goes beyond the binary of good and evil. Dostoyevsky locates evil within us contingent and finite human beings. Only by acknowledging this we can gain freedom to act and create.
