Titolo Il lato più oscuro. Mary Midgley e la natura del male Periodico Iride Anno: 2022 - Volume: 96 - Fascicolo: 3 - Pagina iniziale: 565 - Pagina finale: 579
In this essay I reconstruct two of Midgley’s fundamental theses about evil: that evil is real and intrinsic to human nature, and that evil is a form of negation and privation in the individual motivational system. Especially regarding the second thesis, Midgley’s perspective is very close to Hanna Arendt’s, although it is placed in a naturalistic and Darwinian framework.
