2013
Abstract
The aim of this essay is to show Bayle’s influence upon the Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick”, showing some aspects of their ideological affinity. A key example of themes directly inspired by Bayle is an untiring research for theodicy, as a plausible answer to the question “Why God allows Evil to exist?”, a question designed to know a dramatic failure in its different solutions.
