Abstract
The purpose of the present contribution is to show that in The Revolt of the Masses and in several later writings, as Mission of University or Man and People, among others, we can find a doctrine about the radical evil, understood as propensity for the inertia of the mass-man; a propensity that makes itself clear for us in the factum of the discontentedness, understandable as similar to Kant's Faktum der Vernunft. The central matter of The Revolt of the Masses is enlightened from this doctrine.
