The Concept of Good and Evil in One Man

Introduction

The study is related to the concept of good and evil in one man, which is discussed in context of Strange Case of Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde. The problem of choosing between good and evil as old as the hills as without understanding the essence of good and evil one cannot understand either the nature of our world, nor the role of each of us in this world.

Discussion

Like any science, ethics has a rich arsenal of categories. The concept of good and evil in one man along with the laws, principles, and methods form the basis of the content of any science. They identified the most general terms, reflecting the significant aspects of reality. This is the key points of human knowledge.
