“Evil happens without effort, naturally, inevitably; good is always the product of skill.”

– Charles Baudelaire

 

This week, join Cyrus Palizban and Nico Sarian as we dive deep into the timeless debate on the nature of good and evil, starting with the above quote by Baudelaire, then examining perspectives from Kant, Hume, Nietzsche, Spinoza, and others, drawing analogies to physics, aesthetics, and even zoology. All in an attempt to answer the questions: What is evil? What is good?
