Why We Hate

In Why We Hate, Michael Ruse delves into the paradox of humanity's capacity for both social connection and profound hatred, exploring the roots of such contradictions through a Darwinian lens. He examines historical and contemporary examples of prejudice, including the World Wars, systemic racism, and gender discrimination, while addressing current issues like Brexit and the Black Lives Matter movement. Ruse combines rigorous scientific analysis with engaging narratives, ultimately offering constructive insights on how to reconcile these conflicting aspects of human nature.
