  • Typologies of Evil in the X-Files
    TYPOLOGIES OF EVIL IN THE X-FILES BY MAGNE HÅLAND SUPERVISOR: PAUL LEER SALVESEN AND SOLVEIG AASEN UNIVERSITY OF AGDER 2019 FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND EDUCATION DEPARTEMENT OF RELIGION, PHILOSOPHY AND HISTORY 0 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express great appreciation to my supervisors, Professor Paul Leer-Salvesen (University of Agder) and Solveig Aasen, PhD in philosophy (University of Oslo), for their valuable and constructive suggestions during the development of this research work. I would also like to express my deep gratitude to my colleagues at Arendal Upper Secondary School, Steinar Tvedt, Inger Johanne Hermansen, Ane Kristine Bruland and Ida Wullum for their patient guidance and useful critique of my writing in English. Finally, I wish to thank my father, a proud working-class man, for his support and encouragement throughout my whole life. Throughout his life, he was never able to read English. Therefore, he “forced” me to translate my work for him. The Nazi-form of evil with Himmler, Mengele and Eichmann concerned him. Often, he asked me, how could a man (Eichmann) be that blinded? Without my father giving me motivation, I would never have come this far in my studies. 1 CONTENTS ABSTRACT …..5 CHAPTER 1, INTRODUCTION 1.1) General introduction of evil in movies …..6-7 1.2) My Research Question ……7 1.3) A short overview on the typologies of evil …..7-9 1.4) Defining evil …..9-10 1.5) A critique and defense of evil ….10-12 1.6) What is The X-files about? ….12-14 1.7) Why explore The X-Files? …..14-15 CHAPTER 2, METHODS 2.1) Theory and applied ethics …..16-18 2.2) Specific evil episodes as subjects for research and constructing analysis chapters ..18-19 2.3) The importance of using scientific work related to movies and evil …..19-21 2.4) Methodological inspiration for my thesis, work done by Dean A.
