    Socrates

    The development of personal ethics is mastering what he called " the art of measurement," correcting the distortions that skew one's analyses of benefit and cost. According to socrates, "no one commits an evil act knowingly and doing wrong arises out of ignorance." A person will commit only moral evil if he lacks moral knowledge. Sometimes, a person may have knowledge but he deliberately commits an evil act to satisfy his hidden motive.
