Synopsis
Christian theism maintains that an omnipotent, omniscient, and wholly good God is responsible for creating the world in which we live. Why, then, is there evil in this world? If evil is a result of our having libertarian free will, why would God bother creating humans with such a will in the first place? If all human actions are ultimately determined by God, then why would he refrain from determining all humans to do the good? If naturalism is true, then how does evil arise and why does it persist? Is one justified in saying that instances of pain and suffering are genuinely evil at all? In Explaining Evil four prominent philosophers, two theists and two non-theists, present their own account of why evil exists and respond to objections from fellow contributors. This dialogue format gives readers a unique overview of this important debate.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In Explaining Evil four prominent philosophers, two theists and two non-theists, present their arguments for why evil exists. Taking a "position and response" format, in which one philosopher offers an account of evil and three others respond, this book guides readers through the advantages and limitations of various philosophical positions on evil, making it ideal for classroom use as well as individual study.Divided into four chapters, Explaining Evil covers Theistic Libertarianism, Theistic Compatibilism, Atheistic Moral Realism and Atheistic Moral Non-realism. It features topics including free will, theism, atheism, goodness, Calvinism, evolutionary ethics, and pain, and demonstrates some of the dominant models of thinking within contemporary philosophy of religion and ethics.Written in accessible prose and with an approachable structure, this book provides a clear and useful overview of the central issues of the philosophy of evil. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781501331145
