The author attempts to confirm the shocking thesis introduced at the outset, that the philosophical struggle with the problem of evil and precisely with evil itself proves to be more heroic than fighting off the greatest real-life misfortunes. The considerations are based on several metaphilosophical assumptions. Nonetheless, the most significant inspiration for the assumptions is outlined by J. Nabert’s meta-ethical experience of the “unjustifiable”. One of the key theses of the article can be formulated as follows: acts of evil consist in unreasoned rebellions against the act of good. Metaphorically speaking, acts of evil are in fact a desperate cry for the absolute affirmation of a duty and for the absolute act of good.The final conclusions suggest the philosophical roots of this attitude and call for their future, metaphilosophical study.
