Daoism
Legalism is the Chinese philosophy that believes all humans are born evil and require strict laws and harsh punishments to maintain social order and obedience. This philosophy seeks to control behavior through severe punishment and rewards, with an emphasis on the power of the state to enforce adherence to the law.
The central debate in the good vs. evil philosophy revolves around whether humans are inherently good or evil, and how this impacts their actions and behavior.
Philosophers disagree. Some believe, like those who believe in the doctrine of original sin, that humans are naturally evil. Some, like most buddhists, believe that humans are naturally good. Some, like many scientists, believe that humans are naturally neither good nor evil. .
St. Augustine's philosophy of man emphasizes the concept of original sin, the belief that humans are inherently flawed due to the fall of Adam and Eve. He believed that humans possess free will and must choose between good and evil. Augustine also focused on the importance of grace and redemption through faith in God.
The nature of human beings is a complex topic and can vary among individuals. Some argue that humans are inherently good, while others believe that humans can exhibit both good and evil behaviors. Ultimately, it is a matter of perspective and context.

Total depravity is a doctrine based on original sin. It claims that every person born into the world is unable to refrain from evil. It is advocated by many Protestant schools, including Lutheranism, Arminianism, and Calvinism.
Several philosophers have held this belief, but Rousseau would be a start. Rousseau's philosophy ran that humans are born good, and evil is a thing that must be learned.
