Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness (PEHW)
ISSN: 1471-5597
Volume 2. : July 2002 (themed issue: Terrorism)
Please be advised that the due date has been changed to May 15.
Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness publishes scholarly and
creative work, personal reflections, and practitioners' accounts
relating to classifying, defining, and probing different aspects of
evil. It aims to shed light on the genesis and manifestations of evil as
well as on the diverse angles from which humans can understand, tackle,
surmount, or come to terms with it. Perspectives on Evil and Human
Wickedness does not espouse any ideological viewpoint or favor any
specific theoretical framework, but interrogates a plurality of
perspectives aimed at advancing research on this topic.
Submissions are sought for the July 2002 volume to be devoted entirely
to the theme of terrorism. The volume hopes to present a panoply of
possible angles from which to engage this topic. A wide array of
relevant theoretical, critical and professional perspectives is,
therefore, encouraged. Of most interest will be contributions that add
to, alter and/or deepen, our current understanding of the phenomenon of
terrorism.
