Doğasına Karşı Gelen Canlı: İyilik ve Kötülüğün Psikolojisi

Is humanity inherently good or evil? We discuss the hidden link between goodness and power, tracing a line from infant experiments to Nietzsche, from lions to the mafia. Contents include: ▸ "Good" or "evil" cannot be derived from nature: cub killing in lions, the surprising compassion of leopards, and neoteny ▸ Yale Infant Cognition Lab: Wynn and Bloom's "helping/hindering" experiments and the minimal group paradigm ▸ From Lord of the Flies to the Teachers' Launge: the "little devil" within us ▸ Kohlberg's stages of moral development and "conscience is the market name for cowardice" ▸ Darwin, Malthus, Kropotkin, Hamilton, Trivers, and Nowak: the evolutionary basis of goodness ▸ The charisma of evil: why does remaining good require either weakness or effort?
