THE EVIL IN ERIC WEIL

Evil is a problem for philosophy since antiquity. Passing through the weights of the Stoics and St. Augustine, addressed in the context of theodicy by Leibniz, evil comes as a concern for morality in Kant. Known by its definition as a post-Hegelian Kantian, is with Kant, but going beyond that Weil treats the evil, thinking it as forms of violence. Considered the other of the sense and the reason, violence manifests itself in various ways. Our aim is to determine the concept of evil in Eric Weil as a form of violence. For this, we propose to situate in the conceptual scheme of violence the two forms of evil handled by Weil in his texts: radical evil and diabolical evil.
