About: Moral evil

An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Moral evil is any morally negative event caused by the intentional action or inaction of an agent, such as a person. An example of a moral evil might be murder, war or any other evil event for which someone can be held responsible or culpable. This concept can be contrasted with natural evil, in which a bad event occurs naturally, without the intervention of an agent. The dividing line between natural and moral evil is not absolutely clear however, as some behaviours can be unintentional yet morally significant.

dbo:abstract
  • Moral evil is any morally negative event caused by the intentional action or inaction of an agent, such as a person. An example of a moral evil might be murder, war or any other evil event for which someone can be held responsible or culpable. This concept can be contrasted with natural evil, in which a bad event occurs naturally, without the intervention of an agent. The dividing line between natural and moral evil is not absolutely clear however, as some behaviours can be unintentional yet morally significant. The distinction of evil from 'bad' is complex. Evil is more than simply 'negative' or 'bad' (i.e. undesired or inhibiting good) as evil is on its own, and without reference to any other event, morally incorrect. The validity of 'moral evil' as a term, therefore, rests on the validity of morals in ethics. First impressions on morally evil actions dictate, how people see events, not only murders/death but the level of inhumane cruelty. (en)
  • 道德罪恶是有意或無意引起任何道德上的负面事件。道德罪恶的例子如谋杀、战争或任何其他可能使人類负有责任或有罪的罪恶事件。 这种概念可以与自然罪恶相提並論。在自然罪恶中,自然事件是在没有干预的情况下发生的。然而,自然与道德罪恶之间的分界线还不是很清楚,因为某些行为可能是无意的,但在道德上却很重要,而某些自然事件(例如:全球變暖)可能是由人類故意行为引起的。 罪恶与“坏”的区分是复杂的。罪恶不仅是“消极的”,而且是「坏」的。因为罪恶是独立存在,并且不涉及任何其他事件的情况下,在道德上是不正确的。因此,“道德罪恶”一词的有效性取决于道德在倫理學上的有效性。 (zh)
