Abstract

The article focuses on a study examining Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's views on evil and its implications for moral psychology, particularly regarding genuinely evil individuals. Conducted by researchers at the National University of La Plata in Argentina, the study posits that for Leibniz, moral failure stems from epistemic errors linked to false practical judgments. It discusses how moral agents may misinterpret the consequences of their actions and explores the role of habits in both virtuous and evil individuals. The research has been peer-reviewed and is published in a philosophical journal. [Extracted from the article]
