Georg Simmel
Gérard Rabinovitch has developed the concept of "destructiveness" elaborating upon earlier work in phenomenological (Georg Simmel) and Weberian sociology centered on the role of emotions in society. He developed the concept of the ‘death drive’ in its hetero-destructive form (destructive urge) that has been theorized in the field of psychoanalysis and which echoes Kant’s notion of Radical Evil.
