Ejournal - Overview

Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness publishes scholarly work, personal reflections and practitioners' accounts relating to classifying, defining, and probing different aspects of evil. It aims to shed light on the origins 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 favour any specific theoretical framework, but encourages a plurality of perspectives aimed at advancing research on this topic.

Relevant methodological, theoretical, vocational and practical approaches are sought to enrich the debate undertaken by this ejournal. It is hoped that Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness will quickly assert itself as an important intellectual venue where the different disciplines and professions can come together to reflect upon evil. The dialogical nature of the discussion that this ejournal aims to foster as well as the fast dissemination of views afforded by the Internet medium itself should facilitate exchanges and allow for cross disciplinary fertilisation.
