Answer 2

I suppose the idea that all man are innate evil comes from the concept of original sin, where there is evil in the hearts of man.

Without evil, how can there be good?

Answer 3

I believe the classic formulations are to be found in the writings of St. Augustine.

Answer 4

Any philosophers who look at the form instead of the underlying truth are stuck in duality. When the you recognize  the perfection of Nature and man, then you are looking at the redeemed instead of at the temporal, worldly. You not only allow others to come "up" to where they are with this vision, you are a happier person.

Answer 5

Han Fei Zi.. 韓非子

He was a Chinese who introduced the philisophy "Legalism"-- the belief that all men are born evil.
