Story
Hatred is often considered the opposite of love, but in many ways it is much more complicated. It also may be considered one of the dominant emotions of our time, as individuals, groups, and even nations express or enact hatred to varying degrees. What is hatred? Where does it come from, and what does it reveal about the hater? And is hatred always a bad thing? Brogaard makes a deep dive into the moral psychology of one of our most complex and vivid emotions.

Story
Umberto Galimberti prende le mosse dai vizi capitali: Accidia, Avarizia, Gola, Invidia, Ira, Lussuria, Superbia. Identificati come "abiti del male" da Aristotele, come "opposizione della volontà dell'uomo alla volontà divina" nel Medioevo, come espressione della tipologia umana nell'Età dei lumi, appaiono infine come manifestazione psicopatologica nel Novecento. "E così, fuoriescono dal mondo morale per fare il loro ingresso in quello patologico. Non più vizi, ma malattie dello spirito." Alla luce di questa sequenza storica, Galimberti "ambienta" i vizi nel panorama contemporaneo.

100 million eligible US voters never went to the polls in 2016. In this book, Christopher Freiman explains why these 100 million need not feel guilty. Why It’s OK to Ignore Politics argues that you’re under no obligation to be politically active. Freiman addresses new objections to political abstention as well as some old chestnuts ("But what if everyone stopped voting?"). He also synthesises recent empirical work showing how our political motivations distort our choices and reasoning.

Story
Luke Russell discusses why some philosophers think that evil is a myth or a fantasy, while others think that evil is real. Along the way he asks whether evil is always horrific and incomprehensible or if it can be banal. Considering if there is a special psychological hallmark that sets the evildoers apart from the rest of us, Russell also engages with ongoing discussions over psychopathy and empathy, analyzing the psychology behind evildoing.

Story
Most of us experience the world through competing perspectives. A job or a religion seems important and fulfilling when looked at in one way, but from a different angle they seem tedious or ridiculous. A friend is obtuse from one point of view, wise from another. Continuing to hold both views at once can be unsettling, highlighting conflicts between our own judgments and values and undermining our ability to live purposefully and effectively. Yet, as Jennifer Church argues in this book, inner conflict can be a good thing and not just as a temporary road bump on the road to resolution.

Story
In Why It’s OK to Want to Be Rich, Jason Brennan shows that the moralisers have it backwards. He argues that, in general, the more money you make, the more you already do for others and that even an average wage earner is productively "giving back" to society just by doing her job. In addition, wealth liberates us to have the best chance of leading a life that’s authentically our own. Brennan also demonstrates how money-based societies create nicer, more trustworthy and more cooperative citizens.
