why is this important? because if good and evil are realities, they are realities.
The ones that have shaped the modern world, and almost always for the worse, are nominalism and voluntarism. They are the wrong or at least inadequate answers to important questions: “Does reality have a logical, comprehensible structure, or is everything dependent solely on will, whether the will of God or the will of man?”
The modern world insists they are "subjective": so a "suicide bomber" justifies this because murder is okay because his idea of god says it's okay. And a Nazi SS man who in clear conscience murders Jews is not doing evil because he is following his conscience.
Or a person who in his heart says living together or in a second marriage. (or what I am putting up with here: it's okay to schtumpf the staff because god made me this way) is not committing sin because: Conscience.

It didn't start with Milo you know.
The Professor has a book about this: His book is here.
and remember, science is based on the idea that: "Realtiy has a logical, comprehesible structure".
