Summary/Abstract: The understanding of good and evil is one of the most significant characteristics that distinguishes humans from other animals. One such knowledge makes man a free and moral human being, and is fundamental for any political system to work properly. Today's technological and globalised society, relying on sophisticated and wide-reaching technologies designed for surveillance and control to avert misdemeanours, crimes and any kind of antisocial behaviours, calls for a renewed critical reflection on the meaning of freedom and moral awareness.
