We recognize that not everything called "good" is good; nor is everything called "evil" not good. There is a fundamental human tendency to define "good" as that which is in the interest of the self and to define "evil" as that which stands in the way of self-interest. The consequences of such deception compel urgent attention to the knowledge of good and evil.

Good and evil are polar opposites of the best and worst of human behavior. We should strive to do good and avoid evil. How are we to know good and evil? Religions chart the course for civilizations, but science (psychology) elucidates the dynamic conflicts that confront each individual. Two ways of knowing, two cultures. Can they be reconciled in a coherent view of moral life?
