What Is Evil?
In psychology, evil is a fascinating and complicated notion. Psychologists have been debating the true reason and definition of evil for centuries. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, “evil” is something “morally bad, cruel, or very unpleasant.”[1] Over the years, this trait has been associated with the minority of people with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD); however, it does not mean that those with ASPD are considered evil and those without it are not.
Studies have shown that acts of evil, violence, or cruelty are often carried out by those who act impulsively, fearfully, passionately, or insecurely. Someone may show evil behavior one day and then behave the next—that’s the essence of being human.
In philosophy, evil can broadly be broken down into natural and moral concepts. The question “What is evil?” can be debated based on theological and political ideals. Philosophers argue the idea of a moral compass and whether or not the concept of evil should be placed on individuals, characters, and/or actions.
The definition of evil depends on context and how you interpret a situation. In order words, evil is relative. How you define “evil” may not be the same as how your friend does, and that’s okay. Your upbringing, experiences, and opinions shape how you define and classify the term. From a psychological and philosophical standpoint, no single statement fully explains the term. While the concept can be simplified and stereotyped, defining the term on a larger, more encompassing scale will forever be polarizing.
