Nature of Good and Evil: Understanding the Acts of Moral and Immoral Behavior

Samuel P. Oliner has created an innovative and profound analysis of the nature of deep evil. In the best traditions of social science, he joins with luminaries such as Roy Baumeister and Ervin Staub in bringing evil into the light of scientific understanding. Oliner shows us a path away from evil through the exemplar of resilient goodness who are, in the end, no different than all of us when we too stand up against such malice.
