The nature of evil has been a knotty religious and philosophical problem for centuries, and in more recent decades, has become a psychological, biological. sociological and political conundrum as well.

From the Original Series on, Star Trek questioned the very nature of good and evil. This was drama exploring a very basic human question---and one that challenged and often flummoxed philosophers through the ages.

To explore the questions of the autonomy of evil, its nature and how to deal with it, a discussion of the Star Trek episode that recently focused my thoughts and feelings on the matter, at Soul of Star Trek.
