Common themes emerge around the dominant narrative movements of grieving, loss, powerlessness, and retribution that have shaped so many political and cultural issues around the world since the fall of 2001. At the same time, the interdisciplinary nature of this collection, together with the divergent views of its chapters, reminds one that, in the end, an inquiry into \"evil\" and \"wickedness\" is at its best when it promotes intelligence and compassion, creativity and cooperation.\u003cbr\u003e The thirteen essays are originally presented at and then developed in light of dialogues held at the Third Global Conference on Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness, held in March 2002 in Prague.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614156308631,"sku":"9789042009356","price":8029.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789042009356.webp?v=1775091466","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/understanding-evil-an-interdisciplinary-approach-9789042009356","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
