- Title
La filosofía del mal en Kant Un pensamiento-límite.
- Authors
Quesada Martín, Julio
- Abstract
Auschwitz is a symbol of the failure of modern civilization governed by the non-thinking who depend on a reasoning which knows. The precritical Kant makes an ontological problem of evil. Evil belongs to the essence of humankind which is different from the scholastic who calls it the absence of good; good and evil are positive. The critical Kant makes evil an epistemological problem. Taken from a real opposition and not only a logical one, realities cease being harmonious as Leibniz claimed. The Kant of 1793 approaches evil as a moral problem, positive in the sense of a norm which regulates free will. He does not study evil in its potentiality, but rather as something actualized. For the actualized being, evil is seen as innate evil. The malignancy of human nature can be avoided by a person who also has a propensity to good. Kant (Job) discusses theodicy before a court of philosophy. The problem of evil is a metapolitical problem because what is at stake is the being (person) of humanity.
