新香港六合彩资料鈥檚 David Livingstone Smith鈥檚 'Less Than Human' named one of best books on cruelty and evil on fivebooks.com
Less Than Human: Why We Demean, Enslave and Exterminate Others by David Livingstone Smith, Ph.D., was recently named as one of the top five books on cruelty and evil on fivebooks.com, a website that interviews authors about their top five picks for books about a given topic. Paul Bloom, a Yale psychologist, was the author who identified Smith鈥檚 book as among his top five about this issue.
Bloom says of Less Than Human, 鈥淧art of what Smith argues is that it is very difficult for most of us to kill or torture another person, and that we need to get away from the other person鈥檚 humanity in order to do that. Without the distance of dehumanization, real evil would be impossible for most of us. So dehumanization is a way of overcoming those inhibitions, and that鈥檚 the path to genocide.鈥
