The problem of evil and Theodicaia. Metaphysics, ethics, phenomenology. Comp. Levit S.Ya.

The problem of evil is one of the most ancient philosophical problems and at the same time one of the most debate in the modern philosophy of religion. The authors concentrated their efforts on the movement to ontologization of evil, on the promotion of new installations in morality based on “ethics after Auschwitz”. The collective monograph discusses various aspects of the problem of evil and theodica in the context of the modern philosophy of religion and theology, as well as the history of philosophy. The reader is offered a detailed “cartography” of the problem of evil and an analytical discussion of its basic decisions.

The historical and conceptual grounds of the problem of evil in their relation to Theodicaum are critically considered. The existential and phenomenological measurement of the problem of evil and its role in the spiritual life of a modern person is presented, the historical and philosophical meaning of the problem of evil and theodicaia in the context of current issues of modern culture is shown.

The book is of interest not only for the philosophers of religion, but also for a wide audience.
