“Ethics occupies a central place in philosophy because it is concerned with sin, with the origin of good and evil and with moral valuations. And since these problems have a universal significance, the sphere of ethics is wider than is generally supposed. It deals with meaning and value and its province is the world in which the distinction between good and evil is drawn, evaluations are made and meaning is sought.” WorldMadePhilosophyProblemValuesEvilSinDealsMoralEthicsConcernedUniversalDistinctionGood And EvilSignificanceSpheresProvincesEvaluationValuation Author:Nikolai Berdyaev

“We have resorted to every means to win back the position that Adam lost. We have tried through education, through philosophy, through religion, through governments to throw off our yoke of depravity and sin. All our knowledge, all our inventions, all our developments and ambitious plans move us ahead only a very little before we drop back again to the point from which we started. For we are still making the same mistake that Adam made - - we are still trying to be king in our own right, and with our own power, instead of obeying God's law.” TryingMeanLittlesMadeStillsPhilosophyGovernmentMovingLawWinningLostSinMistakePlansPositionDevelopmentKingsInventionAdamAmbitiousBack AgainDepravityObeyingYokeSame MistakesVery MeanMaking The Same MistakesObeying God Author:Billy Graham
