Rather than focusing on the ""problem of evil"" that occupies philosophers of religion, Barry looks instead to moral psychology-the intersection of ethics and psychology. He provides both a philosophical account of what evil people are like and considers the implications of that account for social, legal, and criminal institutions. He also engages in traditional philosophical reasoning strongly informed by psychological research, especially abnormal and social psychology. </Routledge studies in ethics and moral theory ;20.Good and evilPsychological aspectsEthicsPsychological aspectsPsychologyMoral and ethical aspectsPsychology and philosophyGood and evilPsychological aspects.EthicsPsychological aspects.PsychologyMoral and ethical aspects.Psychology and philosophy.170.1/9Barry Peter Brian1974-,1572277MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910779701003321Evil and moral psychology3847096UNINA
