Why is there evil, and what can scientific research tell us about
the origins and persistence of evil behavior? Considering evil from
the unusual perspective of the perpetrator, Baumeister asks, How do
ordinary people find themselves beating their wives? Murdering
rival gang members? Torturing political prisoners? Betraying their
colleagues to the secret police? 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.
