    Nietzsche’s first essay‚ The Good and EvilGood and Bad is Nietzsche’s thoughts on the concepts of ‘good’ and ‘evil’. In describing the origins of ‘goodness’‚ Nietzsche points out that the concept of ‘good’ was created when an individual determined “un-egoistic” acts to be “good” (Nietzsche‚ §2).

This is because his deeds do not match his words. He states‚ “From my infancy I was noted for the docility and humanity of my disposition” and “I was especially fond of animals‚ and was indulged by my parents with a great variety of pets” (514). He then gouges the eye out and later kills the family pet‚ a cat‚ in cold

    that has been discussed for a long time now‚ so there is no exact answer to if we are goodevil or something of a completely different nature. In my opinion‚ I believe that we are not evil or good‚ but rather something that’s a combination of both. Human nature is not exactly perfect to say the least‚ so it cannot be exclusively good or evil. A reason for this is because certain situations may bring out the good or bad in people. For example‚ you may be having a great day‚ spreading positivity and

For a era‚ like a schoolboy‚ he reacts to such events as torture

    Intrinsically Evil?" has been asked by philosophers for many years. It is known as one of the unanswerable questions. Determinists have come to the conclusion that we are governed by the laws of science‚ that there is nothing we can do about ourselves being evil because we naturally are.
