Politics, Law, and Morality Quotes

“But this general law of nature would not have been perceived as evil if another law had not existed. That this other law or principle already appears in nonhuman nature but acts there as a blind, unconscious, and internally imperceptible force is without doubt.”
― Vladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov, Politics, Law, and Morality

“All that we call evil in a moral sense—violence, slavery, the destruction of one creature by another—is the law of the world and nature, which lives by nothing more than this rule of struggle among creatures and destruction of creatures by one another.”
― Vladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov, Politics, Law, and Morality
