Zeven hoofdzonden
Waarom mensen niet deugenGulzigheid, hebzucht, luiheid, trots, afgunst, lust, woede. De zeven hoofdzonden worden van oudsher beschouwd als de bron van alle kwaad. Ook nu hebben de hoofdzonden nog altijd een negatief imago. We worden geacht morele afwegingen te maken en daarnaar te handelen, maar zijn we daar wel echt toe in staat? Guy Leschziner onderzoekt de neurologische en psychologische basis van de zeven hoofdzonden. Hij kijkt naar hun oorsprong in onze genen en hoe fysieke of psychische aandoeningen ze in de hand kunnen werken. Dit boek staat vol fascinerende voorbeelden van mensen die kampen met gedachten of handelingen waar ze geen controle over hebben en die in de ogen van anderen slecht zijn. Ze laten zien waarom de vrijheid om te kiezen tussen ‘goed’ en ‘fout’ vaak wordt overschat. Door de nieuwste wetenschappelijke inzichten te combineren met ervaringen uit zijn eigen praktijk werpt Leschziner licht op wat het betekent om mens te zijn. Zijn concepten als vrije wil en moraliteit verenigbaar met hoe wij in elkaar zitten? Moeten we zonden accepteren als normaal menselijk gedrag? Zijn ze soms zelfs nuttig in onze continue worsteling om te overleven en met elkaar samen te leven? ‘Een diepmenselijk boek (…) Leschziner schrijft met veel empathie en medeleven.’ – The Guardian ‘Leschziner verkent op gevoelige wijze de genetische, neurologische en psychologische achtergrond van menselijke tekortkomingen.’ – Financial Times ‘Een erudiete en met cases doorspekte studie van de zeven hoofdzonden die samen onze ondeugden vormen.’ – Independent ‘Een fascinerend onderzoek naar de neurologische basis voor ‘slecht’ gedrag (…) zowel leerzaam als vermakelijk. Uitstekend.’ – Nature Guy Leschziner is hoogleraar Neurologie en Slaapgeneeskunde aan King’s College London. Daarnaast werkt hij als neuroloog in verschillende Britse ziekenhuizen. Leschziner heeft radio- en televisieprogramma's over slaap en het brein voor de BBC en Channel 4 gemaakt. Ook schreef hij boeken als The Nocturnal Brain en The Man Who Tasted Words.
