Produktbeschreibung

Is Your Conscience Lying to You?

What if our most cherished moral beliefs are not noble truths, but elaborate delusions? And what if the one person who sees this clearly is the one we trust the least: the psychopath?

The Psychopath's Guide to Ethics delivers a devastating argument that turns our understanding of right and wrong on its head. It posits that psychopaths are not simply moral aberrations; they are clarity machines. By lacking the emotional machinery of a conscience, they act as a perfect, uncomfortable mirror, exposing the incoherent and often hypocritical foundations of "normal" human ethics.

Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, philosophy, and chilling case studies, this book dismantles the comforting myths that guide society. It asks the questions others won't:

• Is empathy a delusion? A biased and unreliable tool that often leads to worse outcomes than cold, detached calculation?
• Could a psychopath's decision-making in a crisisfrom a surgeon's triage to a CEO's corporate strategyactually be more ethical than an emotional response?
• Is the moral outrage that floods social media a genuine ethical stance, or merely a tribal performance that a psychopath sees right through?

This is not a guide to becoming a monster. It is an invitation to learn from one. It reveals how our sense of morality is a contingent accident of evolution, and how our deepest sense of justice is often just a form of emotional theater. By stepping into the mind of the moral monster, a path emerges toward a more consistent and rationally designed ethics, one that is free from the tyranny of other people's emotions.

For anyone ready for a radical and deeply unsettling journey into the machinery of morality, this book provides the tools to see the world as it is, not as our feelings tell us it should be.
