Abstract

Our fascination with the evil person goes beyond morbid curiosity. The evil person is genuinely puzzling. On the one hand, we are tempted to exclude him from the moral community. His consistent violation of moral rules unaccompanied by remorse or guilt and often accompanied by pleasure indicates in some sense that he is not one of us. On the other hand, we are not prepared, or seem unable to suspend our moral reactions to him. We hate him, resent him, want to see him punished, hold him responsible for his wrong -doings.
