RE: The Good Vs Evil Delusion

in #philosophy7 years ago

Looks like what you are really adressing here is the false dichotomy of "good" and "evil" in airquotes. Not what is actually good or bad for human beings qua human beings. When read from that perspective, it makes much more sense.

Sort:  

I tried top use as simple language as possible because this is a recurring theme that puzzles many people. Almost everything around us is divided into false dichotomies even if the world is nothing but a shades of gray. That was my pain point. The good vs evil though is central to all the other false dichotomies.

Yeah I think I get where you're coming from. See I mostly agree with you here, I'm just always concerned when someone claims absolutely that there are no absolutes, if you get my point of view. As in, "there is no right and wrong" or "there is no black and white". We always have to mind the context, of course, but human needs remain human needs. Truth remains truth, even when we are incorrect. Reality remains real, no matter our point of view or grasp of it. Etc.
