More-so philosophers of all ages have also stumbled upon a more in depth question which is if the intuitive knowledge of man’s nature is good‚ or if it is evil. Many have claimed to have an answer to these puzzling questions yet most of their answers were found to be incomplete and inadequate at a later date. Religion also tried to provide a solution but to my understanding only

    Human Nature Good or Bad? Whether human beings are instinctually good or evil in an elementary natural state is a question that has been boggling the minds of even the greatest philosophers. There is a spectrum of theories that support both good and evil within the human race‚ each with valid points that explains the range of our interests‚ being either for ourselves or for others.
