Para todo mal, a cura
Description
In this paper, I present Kant`s theory of evil. I show three degrees of the propensity to evil (frailty, impurity and perversity) and relate them to affects and passions. I argue that Kant offers many ways to heal evil. I show that the texts Doctrine of Virtue, theAnthropology, the Idea and the Religion within the boundaries of mere reasons how different ways to overcome evil in society. I also argue that virtue is impotent by itself to overcome the propensity to evil, and that Kant suggestsother forms to heal malignity. One of these forms is the construction of an ethical community that I will compare with a juridical-civil society.
