Benevolence

Benevolence is the criterion of moral action. The term has been received as a translation of the Latin word benevolentia into German and contains elements of a benevolent attitude and openness towards the concerns of him to whom this attitude applies. For Immanuel Kant benevolence is the only primary virtue: " There is nothing anywhere in the world, yes even to think except possible the same thing could be maintained without restriction for good, as a good will ." Error of this, all other virtues " are also extremely evil and harmful."
