Cruelty is such a ubiquitous and at the same time disturbingphenomenon thatwe take for granted that we understand what it is, andhow it impacts the ways in which we think about our humanity as a moral condition-how we understand our moral significance.Cruelty: A Book About Usoffersan accessible interrogation of cruelty and humanity, and, most critically, it provides a groundwork for us to raise questions collectively; it is an invitation for us all to join in the dialogue.Through academic studies, literary works, and' personal stories and observations, this book provokes deeper insights into why cruel acts trouble our usual ways of articulating and addressing wrongness. Mininginterdisciplinarysources, it excavates what we may not know we don't know and guides us in conversations about this profoundly evocative and often uneasy subject.
