It is an approach of the concept of evil in Paul Ricoeur. In a first moment, the hermeneutics of the symbol is evidenced what gives that to think , point where all types of immediate knowledge are refuted and he defends that the thought is founded in the interpretation of the symbols. In a second moment, it is analyzed the several understanding levels by where passed the concept of evil in the tradition, mainly in opposition to the teodiceia and the gnosis. In a third moment, the pretension is shown of basing the understanding of the evil by the symbols, the myths and philosophical narratives, giving distinction to the cosmological and anthropological traditions, that although opposed, they are complemented in the measure where the symbolic registration of the origin evil points the man as author, receiver and builder of the own evil. Finally, it is suggested that the formulations around the evil are always unsatisfactory and, for that, it is necessary to rescue the foundation of the evil by an ethics that contemplates coming from the instituted. Such perspective transcends the own ethics in the measure where necessary to consider that every conscience awakes wrapped up in an economy of the talent, on which the human being should base his moral proceeded.
