The "Concept of Evil" refers to the philosophical and moral discussions surrounding the nature of evil, its origins, and its implications for human behavior. It often explores questions about whether evil is an inherent part of human nature, a social construct, or a result of external influences. Various cultures and religions, such as Christianity and Buddhism, have different interpretations of evil, often linking it to moral failings or spiritual ignorance. In literature and psychology, the concept of evil is examined through characters and behaviors that embody malevolence. Notable works, like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, illustrate how individuals can commit acts of evil under certain circumstances. This exploration helps to understand the complexities of human morality and the factors that lead to harmful actions.
