Abstract

This book extract (from‘WHY DO THEY TORTURE? a Sri Lankan Perspective’ (ASIN B0BTCF4LQV)) contributes to the literature by inter alia (1) identifying societal justification as incentivizing torture, (2) disclosing man’s innate cruelty and habitual recourse to elective disassociation as facilitating its unperturbed discharge and (3) deeming moral realization its universal panacea.
