What happens when an ideology suppresses individual conscience? When does hatred cease to seem extreme and begin to be perceived as reasonable? In The Logic of Evil, Javier Fernández Aguado delves into one of the most disturbing minds of the 20th century with a clear purpose: to understand evil to prevent its recurrence. Through a conceptual interview, the author unravels the internal logic of National Socialist totalitarianism: how the narrative justifying evil is constructed, how hatred is legitimised, and what happens when conscience is subjugated to ideology. An analysis that transcends its historical context and reveals patterns disturbingly applicable to other systems, drawing lessons relevant to the present and focuses on revealing how the dynamics that can erode and destroy a society from within arise, are legitimised and become entrenched. The Logic of Evil is not only a historical analysis: it is a warning.
