Synopsis

Excerpt from The Religious Function of Comedy: A Phase of the Problem of Evil, Treated From the Point of View of Aristotle's Poetics and Metaphysics and of Spiritual Monism

Philosophical solutions of the problem of evil have nothing to do with conceptions of how the universe is managed. These may be left to the ingenious inventors of pleasant or comforting cosmologies. The most philosophy can do is to explain the world-processes, that through the perfect understanding of them men may accept reality and its laws with courage, and, in the face of pain, defeat, and death, pursue their ideals with faith and cheerfulness.
