Benevolence (phrenology)
Benevolence is a faculty in the discredited theory of phrenology. Concept Phrenology maintains that an individual's character can be divined from the shape of his head as well as the sizes of the phrenological organs. These organs include Benevolence, which said to be the area just above the forehead. If its measurement is large in an individual, the phrenologist would conclude that he is highly benevolent. Divining benevolence in this manner does not only allow one to gauge the extent of an individual's benevolence but also allows him to arouse it. Interaction with other faculties: *Negative benevolence + positive firmness: authoritarian personality without consideration and humanity. *Negative benevolence + positive destructiveness: propensity for unkindness or cruelty Cruelty is the intentional infliction of suffering or the inaction towards another's suffering when a clear remedy is readily available. Sadism can also be related to this form of action or concept. Cruel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Benevolence (tax)
A benevolence, also called a loving contribution, voluntary contribution or free gift, was a type of tax imposed by several English monarchs from the 15th to the 17th century. Although taken under the guise of a charitable contribution to the King, the money was in fact extorted from the king's subjects. Commissioners or letters were sent from town to town, detailing the financial need of the king and asking that the town's wealthiest pay. The requested could not refuse to give, unless they denied the king's need or professed their own poverty, a "doubtless difficult, if not virtually impossible" task. Benevolences allowed the king to raise money outside of Parliament, which traditionally had to authorise any tax the king proposed. A benevolence was first imposed in 1473 by Edward IV. It ended lucratively for the king, and he made similar demands leading up to the 1482 invasion of Scotland which yielded yet more for the royal coffers. Despite this, the benevolences were extreme ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He derived it from the Italian , which in turn was derived from Latin , meaning "alterity, other people" or "somebody else".

Good And Evil
In philosophy, religion, and psychology, "good and evil" is a common dichotomy. In religions with Manichaeism, Manichaean and Abrahamic influence, evil is perceived as the dualistic cosmology, dualistic antagonistic opposite of good, in which good should prevail and evil should be defeated. Evil is often used to denote profound immorality. Evil has also been described as a supernatural force. Definitions of evil vary, as does the analysis of its motives. However, elements that are commonly associated with evil involve Balance (metaphysics), unbalanced behavior involving expediency, selfishness, ignorance, or negligence. The principal study of good and evil (or morality) is ethics, of which there are three major branches: normative ethics concerning how we ought to behave, applied ethics concerning particular moral issues, and metaethics concerning the nature of morality itself.''Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy'"Ethics"/ref> History and etymology Every language has a word ...

Omnibenevolence
Omnibenevolence is the property of possessing maximal goodness. Some philosophers, such as Epicurus, have argued that it is impossible, or at least improbable, for a deity to exhibit such a property alongside omniscience and omnipotence, as a result of the problem of evil. However, some philosophers, such as Alvin Plantinga, argue the plausibility of co-existence. Etymology The word ''omnibenevolence'' derives from the Latin prefix ''omni''-, meaning "all", and the words ''bene'' and ''volens'', meaning "good" and "will", respectively. Thus the term means "all good will". Usage The term is patterned on, and often accompanied by, the terms '' omniscience'' and '' omnipotence'', typically to refer to conceptions of an "all-good, all-knowing, all-powerful" deity. Philosophers and theologians more commonly use phrases like "perfectly good", or simply the term " benevolence". The word "omnibenevolence" may be interpreted to mean perfectly just, all-loving, fully merciful, or any nu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
