Molly Ivans. And, much earlier: Gautama, the Buddha. He called Ignorance Avijja. Earlier than that, was Socrates. Socrates believed that the means to the good life (summum bonum = the ultimate good) was a beautiful, or virtuous soul. His argument is that we choose evil because we think it will be good for us. We rob the bank because we think more money will be good for us. But to Socrates, robbing the bank taints your soul. We sin because we are ignorant of the real means to a good life - virtue. To Socrates, there would be no evil if everyone realized that virtue is the only means to the good life. If we could stick together the end and the means - there would be no evil.
