yea, evil is around us as we speak...

[Lorenzo]

Have you ever pondered about the philosophy of the absolutes: good & evil?

Your view on the two.

[bisdakangdako]

i'm not too keen about the philosophy of good and evil..my capacity as far as it would dictate my knowledge only permits me to accept the all knowing realization that good and evil gravitates in this world as we live.

Truly.

I find myself being drawn to Richard Taylor's commentary on the metaphysical concept of Good and Evil, in regards to Moral Volunteerism:

...now let us note that the basic distinction between Good and Evil  could not even theoretically be drawn in a world that we imagined to be devoid of all life. That is, if we suppose the world to be exactly as it is, except that it contains not one living thing, it seems clear that nothing would be good and nothing bad. It would just be a dead world, turning through space with a lifeless atmosphere. Having deprived our imagined world of all life, we can modify it in numberless ways, but by no such modification can we ever produce the slightest hint of good or evil in it until we introduce at least one living being capable of reacting in one way or another to the world as that being finds it.
