Summary/Abstract: Philosophers have been concerned with the general ideas of good and evil since ancient times and these concepts still arouse interest. The values promoted by morality fall within the category of the good. The notion of good can be particularized in virtue, justice. Evil has been opposed to good. It has been stated that evil has no substance, it has no autonomous entity. The reasons that urge someone to act for good or evil purposes have also been taken into account. It is not common to relate to the same view of philosophers with regard to the possibility of interpreting the concepts of good and evil, respectively. Ethics attempt to solve, beyond the philosophical aspects, real life situations requiring a position.
