1
00:00:08,616 --> 00:00:13,359
Forget about "good as gold".
Today it's going to get evil.

2
00:00:13,796 --> 00:00:15,702
But who or what is evil at all?

3
00:00:15,969 --> 00:00:17,044
The devil?

4
00:00:17,044 --> 00:00:18,120
The Illuminati?

5
00:00:18,569 --> 00:00:19,679
The mother in law?

6
00:00:20,445 --> 00:00:23,832
Usually evil stands for morally wrong decisions,

7
00:00:23,832 --> 00:00:26,296
an basic power which influences 
the history of the world

8
00:00:26,296 --> 00:00:27,921
and which is the opponent of good.

9
00:00:27,921 --> 00:00:30,395
That means, where light is, is also a shadow.

10
00:00:30,590 --> 00:00:34,041
Obviously! God against the devil,
the West against the terrorists,

11
00:00:34,065 --> 00:00:35,847
Aspirin against headache ...

12
00:00:35,847 --> 00:00:38,337
however back to the individual human being.

13
00:00:38,546 --> 00:00:43,749
But who defines “morally wrong”?

14
00:00:43,892 --> 00:00:47,830
Depending on the ethic position there are 
significant differences within the definition.

15
00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:51,452
According to the critic of the Bible 
Benedict de Spinoza, evil is all

16
00:00:51,452 --> 00:00:54,553
That blocks the self-assertion 
of every individual.

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

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

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

20
00:01:02,786 --> 00:01:05,511
since humans are not only
equipped with reason,

21
00:01:05,511 --> 00:01:08,777
but also with "empirical",
entirely worldly needs.

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

23
00:01:10,815 --> 00:01:13,302
so it has always been in us?

24
00:01:13,404 --> 00:01:15,883
His fellow Enlightenment thinker
Rousseau sees things differently.

25
00:01:15,883 --> 00:01:16,883
For him, humans are born good.

26
00:01:16,883 --> 00:01:19,417
Only living in the community (is what)
poisons us, makes us evil.

27
00:01:19,417 --> 00:01:23,103
Are we born evil,
or does society make us evil?

28
00:01:23,571 --> 00:01:27,131
Nietzsche threw all of this overboard,

29
00:01:27,203 --> 00:01:29,285
declared "good" to be "bad"

30
00:01:29,285 --> 00:01:31,069
and "evil" simply to be
a construct of Christian "slave morality.”

31
00:01:31,069 --> 00:01:35,166


32
00:01:35,405 --> 00:01:39,193


33
00:01:39,193 --> 00:01:41,429


34
00:01:41,429 --> 00:01:43,406


35
00:01:43,570 --> 00:01:46,733


36
00:01:46,963 --> 00:01:49,116


37
00:01:49,447 --> 00:01:52,185


38
00:01:52,623 --> 00:01:56,471


39
00:01:56,471 --> 00:01:59,584


40
00:01:59,812 --> 00:02:03,901


41
00:02:03,901 --> 00:02:06,929


42
00:02:07,236 --> 00:02:09,847


43
00:02:09,847 --> 00:02:12,305


44
00:02:12,474 --> 00:02:14,719


45
00:02:15,155 --> 00:02:17,436


46
00:02:17,469 --> 00:02:19,798


47
00:02:19,848 --> 00:02:22,053


48
00:02:22,257 --> 00:02:24,922


49
00:02:24,922 --> 00:02:27,936


50
00:02:28,369 --> 00:02:31,448


51
00:02:31,448 --> 00:02:34,942


52
00:02:34,942 --> 00:02:38,603


53
00:02:38,758 --> 00:02:41,887


54
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,789


55
00:02:45,789 --> 00:02:48,480


56
00:02:48,670 --> 00:02:51,787


57
00:02:51,799 --> 00:02:54,236


58
00:02:54,236 --> 00:02:56,619


59
00:02:56,910 --> 00:02:59,809
