Abstract
The political authority must tolerate the evil acts, if they are slightly detrimental to the common good, in order to protect freedom and to allow the realization of virtuous acts. Moral pluralism can be sometimes a bad thing, but other times it can propitiate the truth’s discovery. Virtues and vices of a subject can affect him in the public sphere and a right society needs virtues: it is not enough to ensure legal mechanisms and various procedures of control.
