The Science of Evil
The Science of Evil: On Empathy and the Origins of Cruelty | Simon Baron-Cohen
2 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
Borderline personality disorder, autism, narcissism, psychosis, Asperger's: All of these syndromes have one thing in common--lack of empathy. In some cases, this absence can be dangerous, but in others it can simply mean a different way of seeing the world. InThe Science of EvilSimon Baron-Cohen, an award-winning British researcher who has investigated psychology and autism for decades, develops a new brain-based theory of human cruelty. A true psychologist, however, he examines social and environmental factors that can erode empathy, including neglect and abuse. Based largely on Baron-Cohen's own research,The Science of Evilwill change the way we understand and treat human cruelty.

After days of listening to music (and reconnecting with some older albums I haven‘t listened to in their entirety for a while), I finally picked this as my next bus book.

I‘m still working on reviews for my last couple reads. I promise I haven‘t forgotten them. I‘m hoping once @julesG finished Ink Blood Sister Scribe, she might have caught some answers I missed, so I‘m not sitting here wanting to listen to that one again.

GingerAntics @ravenlee this is the book that mentioned Buber. I think I‘m going to have to take the Buber for a spin after this one. This one is more psychological than philosophical, but it might still be a good book for our group. We‘ll see how this goes. 1y
julesG I've finished. And I'll re-read/skim once I have the physical copy in hand. 1y
GingerAntics @julesG I feel like I need a physical copy of this book, too. I definitely want to re-read it. 1y
