Christian Wolff e il dilemma di Lazzaro. Ragione, volontà e origine del male morale nel giusnaturalismo wolffiano

This essay analyses the dynamics of deliberative process in Christian Wolff’s psychology, in order to rebuild the origins of evil and the nature of freedom, which characterizes the moral action in the Silesian philosopher’s practical system. The heuristic parabola starts from the exam of the concept of percepturitio, then it studies the dialectic between voluptas, perfectio, good and evil. Finally, after having analysed the sensitive appetite and the affections, it comes to outline the nature of will and its freedom.
