Examples

“Subba, in his opus work Philosophy of Fearism from an E. Perspective, writes of the lack of detailed study on fear. He doesn't directly write much about fearology per se, compared to Fisher. This shortage is not the experience from a W. Perspective (Fisher), where there are lots of such studies, many documented in Chapter 3.”

“Fearology is the inter-and/or transdisciplinary systematic study carried out by fearologists into the relationship between fear, in the widest and deepest sense, and life (Fisher, Course TFI, 118), Fearism on the other hand, is the generic study of fear, its nature, scope, meaning, problems and how the fear problems can be managed.”

“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.”
