But I could now be more clear that the purpose of my psychological project was to learn more about, rather than replace, precisely that evil. To avoid probing the sources of that evil seemed to me, in the end, a refusal to call forth our capacity to engage and combat it. Such avoidance contains not only fear of contagion but an assumption that Nazi or any other evil has no relationship whatsoever with the rest of us...While Nazi mass murder and brutality tempts one toward such an assumption, it is nonetheless false and even dangerous." p. xi-xii.
