He shows that the main sources of evil are habitual, unchosen actions produced by our character defects and that we can increase our control over the evil we cause by cultivating a reflective temper.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">John Kekes</note> <subject> <topic>Good and evil</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Ethics</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">170</classification> <classification authority="ddc">J65-K24</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780691073705, 0691073708</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11047/img-67771.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11047/img-67771.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg"/> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070953.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
