About this item
"I am delighted to offer my highest praise to Dean Cocking and Jeroen van den Hoven's brilliant new book, Evil Online. The confrontation between good and evil occupies a central place in the challenges facing our human nature, and this creative investigation into the spread of evil by means of all-powerful new technologies raises fundamental questions about our morality and values. Cocking and Van den Hoven's account of the moral fog of evil forces us to face both the demons within each of us as well as the demons all around us. In the end, we are all enriched by their perceptive analyses."Phil Zimbardo, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Stanford University Principal Investigator, Stanford Prison Experiment"The internet offers new and deeply concerning opportunities for immorality, much of it shocking and extreme.
About the Author
I am a moral philosopher and independent researcher. I left tenured academic life a few years ago. I mostly write in areas of moral psychology, especially friendship, evil and the nature of moral character. I am now developing some of the themes from 'Evil Online' and my other work for both academic and broader audiences and a podcast called 'The Moral Fog'.
