_Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness_ is an interdisciplinary
ejournal which publishes work from academic, professional, vocational,
and religious contexts relating to classifying, defining, and probing
different aspects of evil. It aims to shed light on the origins,
sources, and manifestations of evil as well as on the diverse angles
from which humans can understand, tackle, surmount, or come to terms
with it.

Relevant methodological, theoretical, vocational and practical
approaches are sought to enrich the debate undertaken by this ejournal.
'Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness' aspires to become an
important intellectual venue where the different disciplines and
professions can come together to reflect upon evil and related topics.

Contributions are solicited in the form of articles (under 6000 words),
dialogues, creative pieces, book and media reviews and personal
reflections. Feedback and responses on material published by the journal
are also sought. Submissions in Word, WordPerfect, PD. or RTF formats
are recommended; please see the 'Author Notes' section of the website
for further details. Contributors are urged to avoid unnecessary jargon
and to make their work accessible and intelligible to non-specialists. A
brief biographical
paragraph should accompany each submission. Articles are normally
published in English, but other major languages may exceptionally be
considered.
