Description
Traces how Nancy poses the question of evil. Discusses how Nancy avails himself of the ethical dimension of Kant's thinking in order to open up the possibility of a phenomenological account of evil. The absolute evil was for Kant a sin "which cannot be forgiven neither in this world nor the one beyond"
