This section will examine three major ethical frameworks: virtue ethics, deontology, and consequentialism. Each of these frameworks offers a distinct approach to understanding the nature of good and evil, and has been influential in the history of moral philosophy.

We will begin by defining each framework and exploring its key features. We will also examine the historical development of each framework and the major thinkers associated with it.

We will then consider the arguments for and against each framework, including critiques of their strengths and limitations. Finally, we will explore the implications of each framework for the nature of good and evil, including how they approach questions such as the role of intention, the nature of moral obligations, and the evaluation of moral actions.

By examining these frameworks, we hope to provide a deeper understanding of the complexity of the question of what is good and evil, and the ongoing search for answers. We will also explore how these frameworks can be applied to contemporary moral issues, such as the ethics of artificial intelligence, global poverty, and social justice.
