Some argue (Giles Deleuze) that the transcendent notion of the Good/Evil
distinction should be realigned in favour of a merely functional opposition. For Deleuze, Good and Evil, are the illusions of a
moralistic world-view that does nothing but reduce our power to act, to
consider encounters between bodies on the basis of their relative 'goodness' and
‘badness’ denies the modes that are relating.
On the modes that are relating The shark enters into a good
relation with salt water, which increases its power to act, but for fresh water
fish, or for a rose bush, salt water only degrades the characteristic relations
between the parts of the bush and threatens to destroy its existence.
