Even as Jim Crow laws segregated them from their white counterparts, the women of this all-black “West Computing” group helped America achieve a decisive victory over the Soviet Union in the Cold War.

But the truth is, if we don’t face the totality of what it means to be human, we can never fully understand ourselves or fully appreciate our deep desire for meaning and purpose in our lives. For many of us, it may be easier to simply avoid looking into the darker aspects of ourselves and our world - the suffering we see everywhere around us, from real world events to the entertainment we consume. The dark side of our nature is our mysterious and fragile underbelly - our negative, but all too human, side. In Understanding the Dark Side of Human Nature, Professor Daniel Breyer takes us on a fascinating philosophical journey into many of the deepest and darkest questions that have engaged humanity for millennia. But how can we be so sure? After all, we are all human. And each time it happens, before we know anything about the circumstances, we are already sure of one thing: We are nothing like that perpetrator. ![]() Hardly a day goes by that we don’t hear about someone committing a violent, reprehensible, even evil, act. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The illegitimate daughter of a nobleman, she works at the Tantalus Club, a discreet establishment for gentlemen-and her only suitor is a pastor who wants to save her soul.

An oft-quoted bon mot (frequently attributed to Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, or a number of other people who probably never said it) is that insanity may be defined as “doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” While the job of lexicographers might be easier if they were allowed to use witty sayings instead of precise definitions, such belletristic labors are not within their purview. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She is caught off-guard by a young hunter who invades her most private spaces and confounds her self-assured, solitary life.
