Evil is the interruption of a truth by the pressure of particular or individual interests.
"Alain Badiou" is a French philosopher, formerly chair of Philosophy at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS). Badiou has written about the concepts of being, truth and the Subject (philosophy)/subject in a way that, he claims, is neither postmodern nor simply a repetition of Age of Enlightenment/modernity. Politically, Badiou is committed to the far Political left/left, and to the Communism/communist tradition.

Liberal capitalism is not at all the Good of humanity. Quite the contrary; it is the vehicle of savage, destructive nihilism.
Evil is the moment when I lack the strength to be true to the Good that compels me.
A Truth is the subjective development of that which is at once both new and universal. New: that which is unforeseen by the order of creation. Universal: that which can interest, rightly, every human individual, according to his pure humanity.
