99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

17
00:00:54,553 --> 00:00:55,983
So, it�s a force from outside,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
18
00:00:55,983 --> 00:00:59,020
that prevents us humans
from developing freely.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

19
00:00:59,239 --> 00:01:02,786
 For Kant, evil is an essential
part of human nature,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
20
00:01:02,786 --> 00:01:05,511

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
since humans are not only
equipped with reason,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
21
00:01:05,511 --> 00:01:08,777

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but also with "empirical",
entirely worldly needs.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
22
00:01:08,777 --> 00:01:10,602
The inclination to the "dark side"-

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

23
00:01:10,815 --> 00:01:13,302

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so it has always been in us? 

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
24
00:01:13,404 --> 00:01:16,883

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
His fellow Enlightenment thinker
Rousseau sees things differently.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
25
00:01:16,883 --> 00:01:19,417
For him, humans are born good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
26
00:01:19,417 --> 00:01:23,103
Only living in the community (is what)
poisons us, makes us evil.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
27
00:01:23,571 --> 00:01:27,131
Are we born evil,
or does society make us evil?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
28
00:01:27,203 --> 00:01:29,285
Nietzsche threw all of this overboard,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
29
00:01:29,285 --> 00:01:31,069
declared "good" to be "bad"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
30
00:01:31,069 --> 00:01:35,166
 
and "evil" simply to be
 a construct of Christian "slave morality.�
