There is no one or final answer. It is a matter of porportionality. It is a matter of degree. Generally speaking though the end does not, in almost all cases, ever justify the means. This question must be answered one step at a time, each step of the way, to the final end. It cannot be bundled into allowing some evil along the way finally in the end leading to a final greater good.

I think it means that when you die you don't actually die because you go to either heaven or hell.

Was the method John Brown used to end slavery justified?

Such a Machiavellian question can only be decided on an individual basis. John Brown was not alone in advocating a more violent end to slavery, but many historians feel he's one of the most significant. Ultimately, as your question hinted at, the question becomes "Do the ends justify the means?" Was Lincoln justified in suspending Habeus Corpus? Was America justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan? That may not be much help, but it's difficult to decide what is "justified."If you're interested in reading more about John Brown, I would recommend John Brown, Abolitionist by David Reynolds.

What is the meaning of 'the end does not justify it'?

First answer (not true):"The end does not justify the means" means that what ever effort or what ever reason you had for doing some thing was not was not justified, because the end result was not what you wanted. And so all of the time and effort to reach that end was wasted.True answer:"The end justifies the means" is a phrase which means that, if you have a goal, it does not matter how you reach it, as long as you reach it. For example, say that your goal is to get an A on a test. If you believe that the end justifies the means, cheating on the test to get the A does not matter to you. All that matters is that you got the A."The end DOES NOT justify the means" is a phrase meaning that you must take a moral route to reach your goal. You cannot break the rules or do anything bad in order to reach your goal. If you wish to get an A on a test and you believe that the end DOES NOT justify the means, you would probably study or use legitimate means to get the A on the test.
