Sample Book Insights:
#1 The paradox at the heart of human nature is that people can objectify others, but they also have a natural sympathy for others that they can switch off.
#2 The question of how humans can be so cruel is still unanswered. The answers that are available are not satisfying. If the answers were sufficient, the question would feel as if it had been answered and the matter settled.
#3 The concept of evil is inadequate to explain the actions of Nazis like Hitler. It is a mere explanation, and we need a better one. I explore how people can treat each other cruelly not with reference to the concept of evil, but with reference to the concept of empathy.
#4 Empathy erosion is the process of turning other people into objects, and it is done when we are solely focused on our own interests. It is one of the worst things you can do to another person, to ignore their subjectivity and thoughts.
