👉 A malefaction in classical Greek philosophy refers to a state of being or condition which is not well-being, but rather an excess of virtue or evil. In other words, it's a situation where one person is doing more good than they should be, while another is doing more bad than they should be. Malefactions are often characterized by the violation of natural rights and principles of justice, as well as the presence of moral degeneracy or moral weakness in individuals.
