Description
Dehumanization has been a persistent problem throughout history, with devastating consequences. This book examines why we devalue and harm those we consider less than human.
The author draws on a range of disciplines to explore the roots of dehumanization, from history to evolutionary psychology and philosophy. He reveals how this mindset can lead to atrocities such as genocide, war, and racism.
A timely and thought-provoking study, Less Than Human sheds light on the dangers of dehumanizing others and encourages readers to consider their own role in perpetuating these attitudes.
