Gustave Gilbert
Gustave Gilbert was an American psychologist and author, best known for his work during the Nuremberg trials, where he assessed the psychological states of Nazi leaders. Gilbert's observations and interviews contributed to a deeper understanding of the nature of evil and the human capacity for empathy and moral reasoning. His seminal work, 'Nuremberg Diary,' provides a chilling insight into the minds of those who committed atrocities, emphasizing the absence of empathy as a defining characteristic of their actions. Gilbert's research remains influential in discussions about morality, psychology, and the consequences of dehumanization.
