Aggression, or The So-Called Evil

Konrad Lorenz – an outstanding zoopsychologist, Nobel Laureate in Physiology and Medicine. “Aggression, or The So-Called Evil” is one of his most famous works, in which he examines aggression through various biological species – aquarium fish, rats, geese, wolves, and finally, humans, arriving at a paradoxical conclusion: deep personal attachment arises only in those communities where a high level of aggression is observed.
