“Ethics occupies a central place in philosophy because it is concerned with sin, with the origin of good and evil and with moral valuations.”

Nikolai Berdyaev (1874–1948) Russian philosopher

The Destiny of Man (1931), p. 15
Context: Ethics occupies a central place in philosophy because it is concerned with sin, with the origin of good and evil and with moral valuations. And since these problems have a universal significance, the sphere of ethics is wider than is generally supposed. It deals with meaning and value and its province is the world in which the distinction between good and evil is drawn, evaluations are made and meaning is sought.
