Being Evil

This audiobook examines the concept of evil, exploring how philosophers have defined and debated its nature, whether it is a tangible reality or a myth, and how it manifests in both horrific and banal acts. Luke Russell investigates questions about the moral and psychological aspects of evil, including discussions on psychopathy, empathy, and the ways we perceive and possibly demonize those who commit reprehensible acts. The work navigates the complex ideas surrounding the darkest human impulses without taking a moral stance, prompting reflection on what truly distinguishes evil from mere wrong-doing.
