"...study: meta-ethics concerning the nature of good and evil, ..."

нет никаких причин, чтобы between что-нибудь изменяло

спасибо!

Oleg, we have the indefinite phrase GOOD AND EVIL referring to these characteristics in a general sense. We also have the definite phrase THE GOOD AND THE EVIL referring to them in a specific situation or attributed to a specific being. To make things more confusing, we also have THE GOOD AND EVIL used to name a group of people that have these qualities. If you tell me how you want to use it, I can give you the correct form.

(1) Tolkien’s books always center around a battle BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL. (2) Certain characters in his books are given the power to distinguish BETWEEN THE GOOD AND THE EVIL in their fictional world and rally a group of people to fight it. (3) The culmination of each story is a bloody battle BETWEEN THE GOOD AND EVIL in which the good usually prevail.

many thanks Uly!
good there's no 4th option (like good and the evil) 😀

Yes! LOL

so, what do I need?
I plan to make a survey seeking the respondents' opinions about certain things and how they estimate them about (the) good and (the) evil
and the survey's title would be "between (the) good and (the) evil"

so, I think it would be your option 2, with both "the", right?

In that case I would use “between good and evil”

ok, many thanks Uly!

😉 👍🏼

Uly, what’s the meaning of THE GOOD AND THE BAD in this context:

An unimportant quarrel was what we had
We have to learn to live with the good and the bad
Together we were happy, apart we're sad
This loneliness is driving me mad.
Does it mean good and bad people? Or good and bad conditions of life?

It means “what’s good and what’s bad”

Great! That’s exactly what I’ve always thought about: to accept life as is - both with its good and bad sides.
