Moral agency is the capacity to do right or wrong, whereas moral patiency is the capacity to be a target of right or wrong. Through 7 studies, the authors explored moral typecasting—an inverse relation between perceptions of moral agency and moral patiency. Across a range of targets and situations, goodand evil-doers (moral agents) were perceived to be less vulnerable to having good and evil do...

A celebrated unresolved conjecture of Erdös and Hajnal states that for every undirected graph H there exists $$ \epsilon (H) > 0 such on n vertices does not contain as an induced subgraph contains a clique or stable set size at least n^{\epsilon (H)} . This has directed equivalent version stating tournament H-free n-vertex T transitive subtournament Recently the was proved all six-vertex tourna...

Both Stanley Milgram and Ernest Becker studied and theorized human evil and offered explanations for evil acts, such as those constituting the Holocaust. Yet the explanations offered by Becker and Milgram are strikingly different. In this essay, brief biographical records of their lives are provided. Differences in their research methods and theories are then examined and traced to relevant dif...

We use an algebraic description of surfaces with boundary to study covering maps. The focus is on the relationship between automor-phisms in the base and lifted maps. We show how to introduce and/or prohibit additional automorphisms in the lift. Using this control we give proofs of MacBeath's Theorem, Gr unbaum's Conjecture, and settle a conjecture of Nedela and Skoviera.

Evil is a concept that has fascinated and puzzled humankind for centuries. We confront evil on large scales, such as the Holocaust, on smaller scales, such as serial killers, and in day-to-day interactions that involve discrimination against or exploitation of others. During moments of reflection, we may even acknowledge the capacity for evil within ourselves. We are exposed daily to evil inten...
