Journal Review
Purpose of Historical Overview
Evil has no solid scientific definition or explanation since evil is believed to originate from religion and methodology based on moral illusions. Therefore, there is no existence of evil since research into the issue is pre-based and influenced by moralistic judgment; therefore, an individual cannot reach an impartial conclusion since evil deeds have been termed to be in existence since way back. Moreover, individuals doing good and avoiding doing the bad has been a motivation for many people, therefore, psychiatry has been greatly influenced by this factor.
