What drives certain people to commit acts of evil? This in-depth conversation explores whether evil is an innate biological trait, a consequence of social circumstances, or a moral breakdown. Drawing on humanity's most brutal acts – from war crimes to personal violence – the discussion examines what creates the capacity for evil in seemingly ordinary individuals.
Participants: The discussion is led by Professor Henrik Høgh-Olesen, specializing in social and personality psychology, and lecturer, dr.phil. and poet Søren R. Fauth. Michael Bach Henriksen, theologian and former cultural editor, serves as moderator, bridging perspectives from psychology, philosophy, and literature.
Practical information: This event is part of Folk University's knowledge festival Hearts & Minds. Admission costs 50 kr. The venue is Dokk1/Aarhus Central Library.
