Corruption is one of the maladies plaguing the human society. The reasons for corruption are many, ranging from ignorance to greed; wrong policies to moral degradation and fr om voluminous bureaucracy to contagion from other countries. Irrespective of the multiplicity of causative factors and subsequent interv ention measures, there seems to be no headway in the near future in containing the problem despite resolute good-natured intentions on the part of national governments. It has since long been the subject of searching for the truth as to whether the convent ional thinking on causation and proliferation of corruption monster as well as the remedial steps will yield the desired outcome or any divergent rumination is required to deal with the problem anew. As part of the cerebral exercise under the latter propos ition, an attempt has been made in this paper to associate the origination of corruption with the feelings of uncertaint yand insecurity which in turn are linked to fear. Uncertainty acts as a catalyst for irrational curiosity that tends to trigger action resulting in corrupt practices in the absence of goodness check. This paper also analyses the means and mechanisms by wh ich uncertainty and miscalculated curiosity are resolved through the fearological approach.
