I come at this from a Judeo/Christian perspective. Jesus said that there is no one good except God (Mat 19:17). This would make God the definition of good. Therefore anything that is not God and not of God would be categorized as Evil. Translate "not God and not of God" to be the absence of God, or by definition the absence of good. That is where the concept of evil being the abscence of good came from.
