Genesis and place in the knowledge system of ideas about good and evil

The article examines the ontological genesis of good and evil, the place of ideas about these categories, as well as ethical tools in the form of moral and ethical norms in the system of knowledge about the world. It states the existence of the problem of fragmentation of the knowledge system, which affects the sphere of philosophy, including ethics. The origin of good and evil from the processes of creation and destruction is argued. Thus, the connection between the ideas about these categories and the understanding of benefits for mankind, society and civilization is shown, as well as the historicity of ethical ideas that change with the expansion of knowledge and socio-economic development of society. As a priority direction in the evolution of the system of moral and ethical perceptions, the development of the system of knowledge, of which ethics is a part, is suggested. Such development can be facilitated by the empirical-metaphysical general theory of systems proposed by the author. There is a significant discrepancy between legal theory and practice and the system of ethical ideas, the overcoming of which can also be ensured by the expansion of knowledge and the formation of their integral system.
