Abstract
- Evil is the result of moral conflicts between two selfaware people who have different moral values. A self-aware person always seeks to actualize his freedom. According to Hegel, the realization of freedom comes with evil. So, the purpose of this article is to explain the question of evil and examine its connection with the concept of freedom in the first place, it seems that evil is the negation of human freedom, while the existence of evil is necessary to achieve freedom as a human goal. Everyone, whenever he seeks to achieve freedom, should not pay attention to his inner institution to establish law in order to make himself known to others. Therefore, the purity of the heart preserves itself, in this way, it suffers hypocrisy, and the result of this hypocrisy is nothing but the appearance of evil. According to Hegel's thought, when choosing the beautiful soul or evil, everyone chooses the latter, in order to guide rationality to its ultimate goal, which is freedom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
