Simon Baron-Cohen is Professor of Developmental Psychopathology and Director of the Autism Research Centre at Cambridge University. In his new book;
Zero Degrees of Empathy: a New Theory of Human Cruelty ( UK Title)
The Science of Evil: On Empathy and the Origins of Cruelty (U.S. Title)
he calls for a redefinition of Evil as a lack of empathy.
In The Science of Evil Simon Baron-Cohen, an award-winning British researcher who has investigated psychology and autism for decades, develops a new brain-based theory of human cruelty. A true psychologist, however, he examines social and environmental factors that can erode empathy, including neglect and abuse. Based largely on Baron-Cohen's own research, The Science of Evil will change the way we understand and treat human cruelty and the concept of evil.
Post your questions below. Simon will post replies to 10 of the questions and then be available for a 1 hour live text based chat with you here. Moderated by Edwin Rutsch.
