Prospettivismo e rimitizzazione : Habermas interprete di Nietzsche -- Dioniso, il Crocifisso : Bloch interprete di Nietzsche -- L'eterno nell'attimo : il ritorno e l'eschaton : Nietzsche e Bloch, un confronto postumo.

The first part of the paper recalls the structural relationship between the religious attitudes and practices and the problem of evil, starting from an anthropological–sociological point of view and ending with more philosophical considerations. The second part deals with the forms of evil engendered or potentiated by religion itself mainly in the public-collective dimension, especially with constraint and violence connected with monotheistic traditions, and finally indicates the antidotes available in them.
