Anatomy of Evil

Borderline personality disorder, psychopathy, narcissism, autism... People with these diagnoses have one thing in common: lack of empathy.


Situations caused by a lack of empathy can sometimes reach extremely dangerous levels. Although Nazi "scientists" are the best example, many cases from around the world, such as the Columbine High School Massacre and rebel soldiers in Uganda forcing mothers to kill their children, prove what consequences this can lead to.


Anatomy of Evil examines the new brain-based theory of human cruelty developed by award-winning psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen. Arguing that not only biological but also social and environmental factors can cause empathy erosion, Baron-Cohen provides a highly qualified resource to the literature by offering a new perspective on the ongoing ideas about evil, or in his own words, lack of empathy.


It's an important step in building a stronger understanding of humans' most terrifying species.
