A Philosophy Against Malice

Herausgeber: Campbell, Sharon R

Beschreibung

First they charm you. Next they disarm you. Then they harm you. The title of this book, Of Pathics & Evil: A Philosophy against Malice, fairly much tells of its contents. It is about evil--human evil in general, and malicious evil in particular; and includes a philosophy aimed to protect ourselves against pathics: narcissists, sociopaths, psychopaths, and psychoticpaths.. These human predators can be men, women, or children from any background, any place, any age. As used in this book, evil implies destruction, breaking down, undermining, and disruption. This is a fascinating, wrenching study of both evil and pathics as it weaves in and out of the variations of pathic behavior. Mr. Freeman saves the reader from sinking into despair on reading these graphic accounts by offering a philosophy against malice derived from personal experience, extensive study, and intuitive insight. "For every thousand people hacking at the branches of evil. there is one person striking at its root."--Thoreau

Autor

Joseph Freeman researched the subject of evil in relation to psychopathy for sixteen years, and his book Of Pathics & Evil: A Philosophy Against Malice, is the culmination of that research. Mr. Freeman's insightful approach to the subject of psychopathy differs from all other books on the subject from four standpoints: (1) it is a compilation of personal accounts from psychopaths themselves and from their victims; (2) he has cleared up the frustrating problem of distinguishing the differences between the psychopath, the sociopath, the narcissist, and the psychotic; (3) he has consolidated these four terms under the inclusive term, "pathics"; (4) he has brought to the foreground an awareness of pathic behavior in both women and children, which has been mostly in the background of (psycho)pathic studies; and (5) he explores the phenomenon of the pathic character in relation to the subject of evil as inherent to human nature.
