Good and Evil

Annemarie Pieper

The question of good and evil was the domain of philosophy and theology from their beginnings; since then, it has also been taken up by psychologists, sociologists and, most recently, human biologists.

Does evil originate in selfish genes, unfavourable social context or man’s fall from divine grace? In these cases, humans carry no personal responsibility for evil. Philosophical interpretations of good and evil begin with the hypothesis of human freedom with its opportunities for self-determination. In this case, good and evil are attributable to human beings.
