  Have you met a true hero? We’ve all read about truly bad people. Why do some people do good while others choose evil? Are we responsible for our actions? What impact do genetics and upbringing have on moral choices? What does science show us about altruism, prejudice, authority, and group influence?  You will explore these and many other provocative questions in Professor Catherine A. Sanderson’s 15-lecture audio course, The Psychology of Good and Evil. An award-winning psychology professor and celebrated author, Prof. Sanderson is known for her deep knowledge of current research as well as her humorous and engaging teaching style.

Her elucidation of research from the fields of psychology, biology, and neuroscience will also help you put names to the positive and negative behavioral phenomena you’ve experienced in your own life. Early on, you’ll learn how scientists define the notions of good and evil—concepts that are prone to oversimplification. From there, you’ll explore complex and fascinating questions about the predictors of such behavior. The knowledge you’ll glean this course will help you better understand yourself and the society in which you live.This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.

  The Age of Reason

  Thomas Paine

  "Thomas Paine's "The Age of Reason" is a thought-provoking work that both defends Deism and challenges the world's major monotheistic religions. Let's delve into its fascinating aspects:    Overview:  "The Age of Reason" is a book by English and American political activist Thomas Paine.  It argues for the philosophical position of deism, which emphasizes reason, natural religion, and skepticism toward institutionalized religion.  The book was published in three parts: in 1794, 1795, and 1807.  While it became a best-seller in the United States, British audiences received it with more hostility due to fears of increased political radicalism after the French Revolution.  Key Themes:  Deism: Paine's work follows in the tradition of 18th-century British deism. Deists advocated for free rational inquiry, religious toleration, and an end to religious persecution.  Natural Law: Deists believed that all things in the universe, including God, must obey the laws of nature. They rejected miraculous accounts and insisted on reason and rationality.  Bible Critique: Paine challenges the legitimacy of the Bible, viewing it as an ordinary piece of literature rather than a divinely-inspired text.  Appealing Style: By presenting deistic arguments in an engaging and irreverent style, Paine made deism accessible to the masses.  "The Age of Reason" remains a significant work that shaped intellectual discourse and inspired free thinkers."

  About The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung 
  In his best-selling book, The Obesity Code, Dr. Jason Fung sets out an original and well-supported theory of obesity that provides brand-new insights into proper nutrition and how weight loss is a function of hormones, not of exercise or calories in and out.
