Of Pathics & Evil: A Philosophy Against Malice - Paperback

by Joseph J. Freeman (Author), Sharon R. Campbell (Editor)

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
