Description
Summary:The present paper is focused on the problem of the evil in Zubiri’s philosophy. The starting point are the lectures from 1964 which deal with this issue and which show that the evil in its different dimensions is after all reducible to the conventional negative approach. Nevertheless, it is certain that Zubiri’s philosophy enables us to conceive the evil in a more radical way, not as a mere negation, both in its transcendental and moral aspects. And if Zubiri does not explore this possibility it is due to theological, and not strictly philosophical reasons.
