The Lucifer Principle: A Scientific Expedition into the Forces of History

by Howard Bloom Narrated by Malcolm Hillgartner

Overview

The Lucifer Priciple is a revolutionary work that explores the intricate relationships among genetics, human behavior, and culture to put forth the thesis that “evil” is a by-product of nature's strategies for creation and that it is woven into our most basic biological fabric. Though this argument is not a new one-it has been brought forth by such great historical figures as St. Paul, Thomas Hobbes, and Raymond Dart-Howard Bloom here takes fresh data from a variety of sources and shapes it into a lens through which listeners can reinterpret the human experience.
