Résumé

"I love to kill people. I love watching them die." So said Richard Ramirez, the notorious Los Angeles "Night Stalker." Can we say that he, and others like him, are pure evil? Or, is that just a matter of personal opinion? This book is about morality. It's about proving good and evil are real; that they're not just an opinion; that they are based on a measurable standard; that the measurable standard comes not from religion, not from philosophy, but from science.
What is that scientific standard? Symmetry. It's how things work in physics, in aesthetics, and even in ethics. The same symmetry that governs the interaction among subatomic particles, that forms the wings of a butterfly, that determines the genius of a snowflake, also has fashioned you and me as moral beings, and has given us the choice between what's evil and what's good. That's what I will explain.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Ken Levi

I grew up in Boston, moved to Ann Arbor, where I received my Ph. D. in Sociology at the University of Michigan, then moved again to San Antonio, where I taught Sociology at the University of Texas. I am the author of seven books: "Violence and Religious Commitment" (Penn State Press), about the suicide and murder of over 900 members of the People's Temple Church in the Jonestown massacre; "Proving God Exists: Physics, Cosmology, and the Universal Mind, " about scientific proof for God's existence; "The Moral Symmetry of Good and Evil, " about the scientific derivation of morality; "Knowing: Consciousness and the Universal Mind, " a composite theory for solving the "hard problem" of consciousness; "Mind of God, " addressing the question, "Does the Universe think?" "Scandal in the American Orchid Society, " about treachery and betrayaI in a volunteer organization; and "American Hitler, " about Trump and his fanatical followers.
I have also published a series of six articles on human consciousness in "The Journal of Consciousness Exploration and Research, " in addition to several other articles on violence, crime, and delinquency, including "Becoming a Hit Man" (Sage Publications), which has since been cited in over 110 other books and articles.
