Abstract

DIANA, Rosario. Hipocresía: Apología paradójica de un mal menor. Sig. Fil [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.28, pp.09-29. ISSN 1665-1324.

After a short historical excursus, that doesn't pretend to be complete, but is only directed to understand the meaning of the term hypocrisy in some authors. I concentrate on its paradoxical defense. Paradoxical because, though morally censurable, the hypocritical attitude preserves the integrity of the ethical value, that it apparently respects, but secretly violates.

Keywords : Corruption; hypocrisy; embarrassment; Mandeville; Molière.
