YEBENES ESCARDO, Zenia. The everyday background of evil. Minima moralia. En-clav. pen [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.32, e556.  Epub Sep 26, 2022. ISSN 2594-1100.  https://doi.org/10.46530/ecdp.v0i32.556.

The article approaches evil as the production of unnecessary harm that occurs in modes of relationship. It tries to point out, through concrete analyses, how the acts that produce horror are the crystallization of forms of relationship that occur in everyday life. The question of evil is linked to the question of vulnerability, defending, however, that evil is neither a transcendent essence nor a rigid structure against which we are impotent. I propose a minima moralia focused on how we see, imagine, pay attention and are able to respond, as well as how the unsettling strangeness of the everyday can serve ethics and politics.
