Millions have wondered about the psychological consequences of 9/11. No doubt hundreds have thought about collecting diverse interpretations. But only Matthew J. Morgan has actually secured testimony from psychologically-informed observers. Thoughtful persons today - as well as thoughtful persons in the future - are in his debt. - Howard Gardner, Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education In contrast to the conformist and even self-serving reaction of so many politicians, regular citizens, and academics to the tragedy of 9/11, this volume presents a variety of thought-provoking perspectives. I also welcome the question mark in the title, which opens a discussion rather than foreclosing it. Experts in psychology, education, and similar disciplines contend with weighty existential, moral, and pragmatic issues, helping the reader reflect on what humans do or do not learn after devastating losses. - Etzel Cardena, Thorsen Professor in Psychology, Lund University This collection of well-written, timely, interwoven essays will prove of great value to psychologists and educators at all levels - from the novice student to the experienced expert. - Fathali M. Moghaddam, Professor of Psychology,Georgetown University, and author of How Globalization Spurs Terrorism

'An excellent collection of new perspectives for understanding and undertaking measures to apply the lessons from that terrible tragedy.'- John F. Lehman, Chairman, J.F. Lehman & Company and Member of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (9-11 Commission) 'This collection of well-written, timely, inter-woven essays will prove of great value to psychologists and educators at all levels?from the novice student to the experienced expert.'- Fathali M. Moghaddam, Professor of Psychology, Georgetown University, and author of How Globalization Spurs Terrorism 'This volume completes the fascinating series of books on the impact of 9/11 on various areas of the common life. It evokes fresh reflections on the doctrines of 'just and unjust war,' pacifism, and the relationship of universal ethical principles to national sovereignty and para-state violence. This is a valuable contribution to the study of how events do or do not shape ideas, and how comprehensive worldviews interpret historical events.'- Max L. Stackhouse, De Vries Professor of Theology and Public Life Emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary
