The History of Being Human

HBH 56: The Psychopathography of Adolf Hitler


Listen Later

Hitler was a failure who achieved the opposite of nearly all of his stated intentions. 

But was he insane as well?  

His life and legacy might argue he was, but what do the experts say?

If he was insane, what was the diagnosis? And if he was not insane, how do you account for his actions?

Was he a meth head, dragon chaser, narcissist, psychopath, schizophrenic, oedipal conflicted anal regressive, or what?  

In this episode we explore the body of literature devoted to explaining the motivations and actions of Adolf Hitler, and ask the question of whether he should be explained at all.
