Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty Baumeister Roy F.Paperback
Why is there evil, and what can scientific research tell us about the origins and persistence of evil behavior? Murdering rival gang members? Considering evil from the unusual perspective of the perpetrator, Baumeister asks, How do ordinary people find themselves beating their wives?
Betraying their colleagues to the secret police? Torturing political prisoners? Why do cycles of revenge so often escalate?
Baumeister casts new light on these issues as he examines the gap between the victim's viewpoint and that of the perpetrator, and also the roots of evil behavior, from egotism and revenge to idealism and sadism. A fascinating study of one of humankind's oldest problems, "Evil" has profound implications for the way we conduct our lives and govern our society.
