Hitler's ethicthe Nazi pursuit of evolutionary progress /[electronic resource] :RichardWeikart. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - xiii, 254 p. :ill. ;22 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Hitler as moral crusader and liar -- The cult of evolutionary progress -- Racial struggle -- Morally upright Aryans and immoral Jews -- Hitler's socialism : building the people's community -- Sexual morality and population expansion -- Controlling reproduction to improve the humanspecies -- The struggle for living space : war and expansionism -- Justifying murder and genocide.

In this book, Weikart helps unlock the mystery of Hitler's evil by vividly demonstrating the surprising conclusion that Hitler's immoralityflowed from a coherent ethic. Hitler was inspired by evolutionary ethics to pursue the utopian project of biologically improving the human race. This ethic underlay or influenced almost every major feature of Nazi policy: eugenics (i.e., measures to improve human heredity, includingcompulsory sterilization), euthanasia, racism, population expansion, offensive warfare, and racial extermination.
