Summary:
"In the 24 lectures of Understanding the Dark Side of Human Nature, Professor Daniel Breyer takes you on a fascinating philosophical journey into some of the deepest--and darkest--questions that have haunted humanity for millennia. In exploring the dark side of human nature, you won't just explore what it means to be evil; you'll explore humanity's fragile underbelly by investigating such topics as our thirst for vengeance, our tendency toward anger, our inability to do what we know is right, and much more. These are difficult topics, to be sure, and at least for some people, it would be easier to look away, rather than investigate them. But the truth is that unless we honestly confront who we are in all its sordid glory, we'll never fully understand ourselves. We'll never fully appreciate who we really are--or who we might ultimately become."--Provided by publisher's website.
