The article raises the question of the scope of the Report on the Blind, the central chapter of On Heroes and Tombs, as a phenomenal, poetic, and mythological approach to the question of evil. The first part deals with tracing the personal, moral, and aesthetic motives that lead Sabato to the formulation of the myth of the Sect of the Blind as a plausible hypothesis about the intelligibility of evil. The second explores the pictorial, cinematic, and staging resources that Sábato uses to enter the underworld, the realm of evil. The last part attempts to situate the Sábato text in the whole of his life and work as a resource for examining the metaphysical, political, and moral scope of his thought. ; El artículo plantea la pregunta por el alcance del Informe sobre ciegos, capítulo central de Sobre héroes y tumbas, como un acercamiento fenoménico, poético y mitológico a la pregunta por el mal. La primera parte se ocupa de rastrear los motivos personales, morales y estéticos que llevan a Sábato a la formulación del mito de la Secta de los ciegos como una hipótesis plausible sobre la inteligibilidad del mal. La segunda, explora los recursos pictóricos, cinematográficos y de puesta en escena que Sábato utiliza para entrar al mundo de abajo, al reino del mal. La última parte intenta situar el texto de Sábato en el conjunto de su vida y de su obra como un recurso para examinar el alcance metafísico, político y moral de su pensamiento.
