Flourishing and the Problem of Evil

Essay by Mark Tushnet

Michael Perry's second book is annoying. While being annoying can be good, it can also be bad. It's good when “annoying” is a synonym for “provocative,” when it stirs you out of your complacency and forces you to consider your views in a new light. Annoying is bad when it obstructs your consideration of what is being said. A review of the bad side of Perry's book will be a useful prelude to considering its good side.
