- RADICAL EVIL AND THE INVISIBILITY OF MORAL WORTH IN KANT'S DIE RELIGION CARLOS MANRIQUE Filosofía Kant radical evil philosophy of religion Abstract There is an aporia in Kant´s analysis of evil: he defines radical evil as an invisible disposition of the will, but he also demands an inferential connection between visible evil actions and this invisible disposition. This inference, however, undermines the radical invisibility of radical evil according to Kant´s own definition of the latter. Noting how this invisibility of moral worth is a distinctive feature of Kant´s approach to the moral problem, the paper then asks why, in the Groundwork, he nonetheless forecloses a question about evil that seems to be consistent with this approach. It is argued that to account for this aporia and this foreclosure, one has to interrogate the way in which the category of religion orients Kant´s incipient philosophy of history in Die Religion. 2007 artículo científico 0120-0062 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=80915461001 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=809 Ideas y Valores application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Ideas y Valores (Colombia) Num.135 Vol.56
