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 brain of a psychopath so different from the brain of an ordinary person? How many people have homicidal fantasies? Can artificial intelligence be considered evil? Do your sexual tendencies make you a bad person? Who becomes a terrorist and why? The Psychology of Evil is a detailed and fascinating exploration of the dark side of man. Dr. Julia Shaw, using examples from popular culture and real life, suggests speculating about problems that are usually silent, although knowing the factors that can provoke unacceptable behavior helps to notice them and prevent them from unfolding in full force.
