In the book Zero Degrees of Empathy: A New Theory of Human Cruelty and Kindness, Simon Baron-Cohen undertakes an interesting and challenging review of what exactly makes our behavior uniquely human. What explains human cruelty? How do some people behave in the most evil way, while others are self-sacrificing? Perhaps all of us find ourselves on a spectrum of empathy, which can be influenced both by our genes and our environment.
Baron-Cohen examines why some people treat others as objects, why empathy is our most valuable resource, and whether its absence always leads to negative outcomes. From the Nazi concentration camps during World War II to today's schoolyards, he explores empathy, cruelty, and understanding in a fundamental study of human existence.
Simon Baron-Cohen is a Professor at the University of Cambridge in the fields of psychology and psychiatry, as well as the Director of the Autism Research Centre. He has conducted research in social neuroscience over a 20-year career. His popular science book The Essential Difference has been translated into more than a dozen languages and has received widespread review.
