“A simple but persuasive hypothesis for a new option to take into accounts evil.” —New York Times
Borderline personality disorder, autism, narcissism, psychosis, Asperger’s: All of these syndromes have one thing in common–loss of empathy. In some cases, this absence will also be dangerous, but in others it might probably simply mean a different way of seeing the world.In The Science of Evil Simon 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, then again, he examines social and environmental factors that may erode empathy, including neglect and abuse.

Based in large part on Baron-Cohen’s own research, The Science of Evil will change the way in which we bear in mind and treat human cruelty.
