Signifying nothing? Myth and science of cruelty
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 August 2006
Abstract:
Nell proposes another myth about human aggression, following thousands of old myths from Homer to Lorenz. Like all myths, this one might be partially true and partially false. However, the use of emotional and propagandistic effects, rather than evaluation of empirical results, obscures any attempt to describe the truth about cruelty.
It is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5
