Resumen
HINCAPIE GARCIA, Alexánder. The 'Question' of Evil and Modernity. Regarding a Reading from Walter Benjamin. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2014, n.50, pp.155-165. ISSN 0123-885X.
This paper presents the "question" of evil in direct relation to modernity. The proposed theses hold that evil cannot be studied by searching for its origins, but by inscribing it within specific historical and cultural coordinates. In this case, the coordinates are located in the modern world and a Modernity that launched the promise of progress and in fact opened the door to anthropological correction, disguising it as a necessary gesture for re-founding humanity itself.
Palabras clave : Evil; modernity; education; cosmopolitism; culture.
