“Fearology recognizes that fear is not a singular phenomenon but a complex interplay of biological, pyschological, social and cultural factors. By adopting a multidimensional perspective, fearology aims to shed⟳ light⟳ on the intricacies of fear and its profound influence⟳ on human experiences. It provides measures to manage⟳, control⟳, and utilise fear of the human benefit.”
