The Anatomy of Evil

In this groundbreaking book, renowned psychiatrist Michael H. Stone explores the concept and reality of evil from a new perspective. In an in-depth discussion of the personality traits and behaviors that constitute evil across a wide spectrum, Dr. Stone takes a clarifying scientific approach to a topic that for centuries has been inadequately explained by religious doctrines. Stone has created a twenty-two-level hierarchy of evil behavior, which loosely reflects the structure of Dante's Inferno. Basing his analysis on the detailed biographies of more than 600 violent criminals, he traces two salient personality traits that run the gamut from those who commit crimes of passion to perpetrators of sadistic torture and murder. One trait is narcissism, as exhibited in people who are so self-centered that they have little or no ability to care about their victims. The other is aggression, the use of power over another person to inflict humiliation, suffering, and death. What do psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience tell us about the minds of those whose actions could be described as evil? And what will that mean for the rest of us? Stone discusses how an increased understanding of the causes of evil will affect the justice system. He predicts a day when certain persons can safely be declared salvageable and restored to society and when early signs of violence in children may be corrected before potentially dangerous patterns become entrenched.… (mehr)

I couldn’t do it, couldn’t even make it through the introduction. I had high hopes, it sounded interesting but it read like that class in school you had to take to pass. The one where the content should be interesting but the professor couldn’t care less so he just read from the book in a droning monotone. ( )

It only had a few errors.
I would have finished it sooner but for looking up a lot of the books that were referenced.
I wanted to read this because I can't understand people with no compassion, one of whom used to be one of my sisters. Another was a boyfriend in my past, I'm ashamed to say.
It's not easy to figure out why people are "evil," or "consumed by chaos," as I prefer to categorize them. Supposedly, from this author's viewpoint, it's half nature/half nurture. But there's so much more to it... alcohol/drugs can catapult someone who would otherwise not be "evil." Sometimes head injuries, sometimes parental neglect/abuse combined with mental disorders.
Humans really need to be taken down by mother nature, since nothing else seems available to stop us. We are just so very ugly to each other. ( )

Áhugaverð yfirferð yfir þá glæpi sem kallaðir hafa verið hrein illska eða evil á ensku. Stone reynir að skoða morðingja sem hafa verið fordæmdir fyrir illsku og raða þeim upp á skalanum 1-22. Hann leggur sálfræðilegt mat á einstaklingana og byggir lögregluskýrslum, ævisögum og í sumum viðtölum viðtölum við viðkomandi. Áberandi er hve uppeldi, heilaskaði, undirmiga(?!) og fátækt hefur mikil áhrif á að móta morðingja en líkt og Stone bendir á er það alls ekki algilt. Stórfróleg bók en takmarkaður fjöldi morðingja í hverjum illskuflokki Stones vekur hins vegar upp spurningar um alhæfingar hans. ( )

Evil Screens es, por un lado, un ensayo sobre la moral, los valores sociales y la opinión pública. Por otro lado, es un análisis de los medios de comunicación y la cultura visual. No obstante, trata de muchos más temas, desde la polémica sobre el velo islámico hasta la publicidad o las descargas de Internet. Aunque su objetivo es ser un trabajo riguroso también pretende estar escrito con un tono intempestivo, provocador, rapsódico y, hasta cierto punto, humorístico. Contiene, además, decenas de ilustraciones. En el libro se analiza la obra de muchos autores (v. las referencias al final) pero hay algunos que se estudian con más extensión, veámoslo desglosando los capítulos. Cap. 1 Highway to Hell. Es un capítulo introductorio donde se plantea el tema de la denominada crisis de valores y algunas confusiones políticas de nuestro tiempo. Cap. 2 E.T.A. P.C. trata de la semántica del terrorismo. Cap. 3 La razón de las víctimas trata sobre la centralidad del concepto de víctima y su instrumentalización. Cap. 4 Mentes veladas. Aquí se analiza como ejemplo de problema moral el velo islámico. Cap. 5 La civilización, en máximos mínimos es una crítica del discurso apocalíptico de Mario Vargas Llosa en su libro La civilización del espectáculo. Cap. 6 La verdadera telebasura. Es el capítulo central del libro y el más extenso. Se analiza la televisión como ejemplo de proyección de valores sociales, centrándose en el caso de los telediarios. A la vez se realiza un estudio de la cultura visual. Los autores principales que se estudian son Neil Postman, Marshall McLuhan, Giovanni Sartori, Umberto Eco, Noam Chomsky, Raúl Rodríguez Ferrándiz, Hannah Arendt, Enrique Gil Calvo, Arcadi Espada, Gonzalo Abril, Lorenzo Vilches, etc. Cap. 7 Barra libre. Trata sobre la ideología de Internet. Autores principales: Diego Beas y Manuel Castells. No obstante, hay muchas más referencias. Cap. 8 y la falsa opinión pública. Es el capítulo más político del libro y se centra en la configuración de la denominada opinión pública. Autores: Platón, Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann, Jürgen Habermas, George Santayana y, especialmente, Walter Lippmann. ( )
