“One cause of misery and vice is always present with us in the greed and pride of men, but at certain periods in history, this is greatly increased by the temporary prevalence of some false philosophy. Correct thinking will not make good men of bad ones, but a purely theoretical error may remove ordinary checks to evil and deprive good intentions of their natural support. An error of this sort is abroad at present. I am not referring to the Power philosophies of the totalitarian states, but something that goes deeper and spreads wider and which, indeed, has given these Power philosophies their golden opportunity.
I am referring to subjectivism(Lewis1967)”.

About Tombo Baggins
Hi, I’m Tom Kubarych, a.k.a. Tombo Baggins. There have been many calls for the serious scientific study of evil. I wrote my Ph.D. thesis on one of them (Peck 1983).
The first personality disorder (PD) recognized by psychiatry was the psychopath (Hare 1999). In theory, a psychopath does not have a conscience. On one view (Fingarette 1967), this represents an absence of morality. Evil, or at least some kinds of evil, is better conceived of as a perversion of morality.
