Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil

The Just Babies book is a groundbreaking exploration of human morality, challenging the long-held belief that we are born as blank moral slates.

Drawing on cutting-edge research at Yale, Paul Bloom reveals that babies are hardwired with a sense of good and evil, judging the actions of others and feeling empathy from a young age.

However, this innate morality is limited, leading to natural hostility towards strangers and parochialism.

Through a fascinating examination of chimpanzees, violent psychopaths, religious extremists, and Ivy League professors, Bloom uncovers the complexities of human morality and how we have come to surpass these limitations through reason and deliberation.

This thought-provoking book will challenge your assumptions about the nature of good and evil and inspire you to rethink your views on morality.
