[ded_maxim]

Книга: Evil in Modern Thought: An Alternative History of Philosophy by Susan Neiman. Автор прослеживает развитие философской мысли от Лейбница до Арендт, исследуя эволюцию представлений о природе зла.

The word "evil" gets thrown around pretty frequently, especially in connection with certain Axes, but Einstein Forum director and former philosophy professor Susan Neiman reminds us that the existence of evil is a theological and intellectual dilemma through modern Western intellectual history in fact, she argues in her erudite and accessible Evil in Modern Thought: An Alternative History of Philosophy, the question of evil is at the heart of modern philosophy. Neiman looks at how philosophers and writers Leibniz and Arendt, Pope and Sade have sought to explain evil, and traces two divergent strains of thought: one that insists we must try to understand moral evil, and another that maintains we must not.

I don't think I understand the question. Define "belongs".

In other words, is his own final and ultimate master and property, and alone bears responsibility for and passes judgement on his personal state. I.e., if I quit work, purposely take up crack as a hobby and quickly die homeless, is this not an evil thing I'm doing to myself?

If nobody cares about you and will not be harmed by your demise, then no, you will only be harming yourself, that's not evil.
Compare with something that one does that only benefits himself - it's useful to him, but it is not a good thing.

I disagree, for obvious reasons, but believe in your right to have this opinion.
