Why does evil exist? This is one of the most important questions troubling humanity. It seems that evil people are somehow special — they live by different rules and standards. But is the psychopath's brain really different from an ordinary person's? How many people have fantasies about murder? Can artificial intelligence be considered evil? Do your sexual preferences make you a bad person? Who and why becomes a terrorist? "The Psychology of Evil" is a detailed and fascinating exploration of the dark side of human nature. Dr. Julia Shaw uses examples from popular culture and real life to discuss issues that are usually left unspoken, although knowing the factors that can provoke unacceptable behavior helps to recognize them and prevent them from fully unfolding.
