O direito frente ao mal radical: a hipérbole kantiana do povo de demônios

Through the hyperbole of the people of devils Kant shows how right has the power to neutralize selfishness from the point of view of external action and thereby constitute a civil state. However, this state corresponds to a state of natural ethics, revealing that a juridical community can be formed withour eliminating radical evil. Therefore, right is moral without being ethical.
