"Is Evil just the result of ignorance or moral imperfection of man"
If evil was a result of ignorance that really means evil doesnt actually exist, by reduction you would be saying evil was a meaningless relative value.
The whole Kardec deal you move on to is circular nonsense. If you make a value judgement to call something "imperfect" that is no different than calling it "evil".
Kant was just playing loony semantic games too. His reasoning is analogous to a mathematician saying "you cant subtract a number because negatives dont exist - you can only not have added it".
Its all the same really, the trick is semantics not substance.
There are 2 real options.
1 Evil doesnt exist. Its simply a realtive construct of systems in a naturalistic world(Good doesnt exist either).
2 Evil does exist and its the antitheses of Good.

There are several meanings for 'Evil' ,that doesn't mean that there is a truth behind each meaning;for instance,the word "unicorn" is in your dictionnary,still there is no 'unicorn' in the real world;what I meant is what meaning of Evil is true in our real world;the meanings of words are just there to express our thoughts and in no account they can express what is true or untrue.
I can't believe that one can make logic mistakes like that.
