Summary/Abstract: The representation of the evil admits at least three models : medical and pathogenic, mechanistic and logical or geological and civilizational. If we leave aside the metaphysical and theological views postulating a nature or the final meaning of evil, the evil is what to avoid or to fight for a pratical reason, a view that we can find a model for in Greek Metis.
