The Psychology of Good and Evil
First published: Paris: Odile Jacob, c2011.
Manifeste du Muséum
L'assassinat de Samuel Paty, les attentats du Bataclan et du journal Charlie Hebdo, jusqu'aux violences conjugales par lesquelles plus de cent femmes meurent en France chaque année sous les coups de leur compagnon, la violence s'expose à nous presque quotidiennement. Paradoxalement, malgré un ressenti généralisé de vivre dans un monde violent, le niveau de violence civile en Europe de l'Ouest n'a jamais été aussi bas depuis les origines de notre pays. Toutes les violences sont-elles comparables ? Qu'est-ce que la violence ? Quelles sont ses origines naturelles ? Signé par un collectif d'auteurs, ce manifeste convoque différentes disciplines scientifiques afin de disposer d'une grille d'analyse scientifique fondée et interroge l'essence même de la violence.

Psychologie du bien et du mal
Quel sens donnons-nous à nos actes les plus quotidiens et à ceux des autres ? Pourquoi sommes-nous capables de sacrifier nos intérêts matériels au nom de grands principes comme la justice ? Par quelles mises en scène parvenons-nous à draper de moralité des conduites qui caressent notre égocentrisme ? Quelles circonstances peuvent nous conduire à trahir nos convictions les plus profondes ? Comment se forment et progressent la conscience morale et l'empathie ? Les récompenses et les punitions favorisent-elles ou non les acquisitions morales ? S'appuyant sur des exemples et de nombreuses études scientifiques récentes, ce livre explore la forme que le bien et le mal prennent dans no...
Victims' Stories and the Advancement of Human Rights
What does it mean to be a victim? How can we better listen to and learn from the experiences of those whose human rights have been violated? This book addresses questions suggested by the worldwide persistence of human rights abuse and the prevalence of appeals to victims' stories in human rights campaigns, truth commissions, and international criminal tribunals. Meyers takes an interdisciplinary approach to considering how victims' stories can contribute to enlarged understandings of human rights protections and deepened commitments to realizing human rights.
Racial Resentment in the Political Mind
"The recent United States presidential election as well as the responses to the protests about the death of Blacks at the hands of the police has brought forward the question of racism among white voters. In Racial Resentment in the Political Mind, Darren Davis and David Wilson explore the idea that racial resentment, rather than simply racial prejudice, is the basis for growing resistance among whites to efforts to improve the circumstances faced by minorities in the United States. The authors start with the idea that there is growing sentiment among whites that they are "losing-out" and "being cut in line" by Blacks and other minorities, as reflected in an emphasis on diversity and inclusi...
Confident Humility
Almost all self-help books emerge from one of two flawed views of the self, and these mutually exclusive ditches are destructive. The Ditch of Smallness says that people are fundamentally bad and that humanity's greatest spiritual threat is pride. The Ditch of Bigness says the exact opposite: people are fundamentally good, and shame is our greatest danger. Dan Kent presents a third view, a road between the ditches. He shows how the humility Jesus revealed offers the most accurate and freeing view of the self. Whereas shame and arrogance are dysfunction steroids (making our depression darker, our anxiety tighter, our addictions stickier, and so forth), humility, as Jesus teaches it, counteracts shame and pride, thereby subverting two major psychological forces that thwart us. Once we embrace this new way of seeing ourselves--how Jesus sees us--we begin to relate to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us in a way that allows us to overcome a whole host of vices and self-sabotaging behaviors. Furthermore, whereas the ditches both lead to powerlessness and passivity, humility as Jesus teaches it is empowering, fosters proactivity, and serves as a scaffold for true confidence.
Field of Magic
Superstition has been a part of baseball from the beginning. From good luck charms to human mascots to ritual statues of Babe Ruth to the curse of Colonel Sanders, there may be almost as many superstitions as players (or fans). Drawing on social science, religious studies and SABRmetrics, this book explores the rich history of supernatural belief in the game and documents a wide variety of rituals, fetishes, taboos and jinxes. Some of these have changed over time but coping with uncertainty on the field through magical thinking remains a constant.
