This book examines what makes someone an evil person and how evil
people are different from merely bad people. Rather than focusing
on the "problem of evil" that occupies philosophers of religion,
Barry looks instead to moral psychology-the intersection of ethics
and psychology. He provides both a philosophical account of what
evil people are like and considers the implications of that account
for social, legal, and criminal institutions. He also engages in
traditional philosophical reasoning strongly informed by
psychological research, especially abnormal and social psychology.
In response to the popularity of phrases like "the axis of evil"
and the ease with which politicians and others describe their
opponents as "evil," Barry sets out to make clear just what it is
to be an evil person.
