Abstract

[The Arendt’s concepts of “skandala” and “evil minor fallacy”. A Transdisciplinary Reading for The Black Sheep and The Monologue of Evil by Augusto Monterroso] Trough an interdisciplinary perspective, the aim of this essay is to analyse two fables by the Honduran writer Augusto Monterroso –The Black Sheep and The Monologue of Evil– as interpretative keys of the Arendt’s concepts of “skandala” and “evil minor fallacy”. In this sense, it seeks, through Latin American literature, political philosophy and law, to understand how and why, without any constraint, a pedagogy of fear becomes actual and it can be able to overthrow the very bases of contemporary society, forged on human rights and democracy.
