  • Summary

  • The way we handle our knowledge of good and evil divides the world, philosophically, into two camps. On the one side are those who implicitly rely on their grasp of good and evil to inform and justify their attempts to control the world. On the other are those who hold loosely or doubt or reject their own ability to parse good and evil.

    The first type ends up doing things like making laws to condemn particular behaviors and beliefs. The second type sees the futility of condemnation as a solution—not out of a denial of moral values, but because the one who condemns the world must try to control it, and because those changed by condemnation will extend that condemnation to others.
