Reinhold Niebuhr

    Questo teologo americano criticò fermamente il pensiero protestante liberale, sottolineando la persistenza del male nella natura umana e nelle istituzioni sociali. Le sue opere teologiche e filosofiche approfondiscono spesso il complesso rapporto tra moralità e società, esaminando la natura e il destino dell'umanità. Influenzato dai suoi anni di servizio pastorale in una città industriale, divenne un critico del capitalismo e un sostenitore del socialismo. I suoi scritti sono noti per l'incisiva analisi della lotta continua tra il bene e il male nel mondo.
