Spanish term

vida moral enferma

Spanish to English Social Sciences Philosophy
From my philosophy paper from hell:

The author could be referencing another work here, or not. The paper is full of one word references jammed into sentences to other philosophical works though, so this may be one. Anyone have any ideas?

She directly refernces Heideger, Hanna Arendt and Kierkegaard a lot - and Gadamer in this paragraph.

Pero como se sabe, la tramposa busca de difuminación de responsabilidades personales en los dark times es un tema típico de la vida moral enferma de las sociedades que se reconstruyan tras la derrota del totalitarismo.

moral decay

An option

From 'KIERKEGAARD AND NIETZSCHE: CONTRASTS AND COMPARISONS'
"Though Kierkegaard would identify with Nietzsche’s parable of the madman as
illustrative of Denmark’s moral decay, he would never go so far as to advocate the
complete destruction of its existing moral foundations."

Can't find any references though.
