Comparison of the solution to the problem of evil from the perspective of John Hick and Allameh Tabataba'i مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

The issue of God's existence is an innate matter, and by the rule of nature, all humans are God-knowing and God-oriented; however, the issue of the existence of evils and their abundance in the world has progressed to the point where some, due to lack of attention to all aspects of the problem and failure to find a suitable solution, have turned to dualism or atheism, or have accused the infinite Divine Essence of being limited in the attributes of knowledge, power, or benevolence. Types of Evil In his book God and the Problem of Evil, Hick divides evils into two categories: moral evil resulting from wickedness, and non-moral evil such as disease and natural calamity; then, in explaining these types, he says: Moral evil is a type of evil that we, as human beings, cause: tyrannical, unjust, ill-natured, and misguided thoughts and actions; in other words, moral evils are applied to those evils that have a direct human factor in their emergence. In Hick's view, evil in the natural world serves as a tool to create the environmental conditions for the cultivation of the soul, the realization of God's purpose, and the creation of the moral characteristics of humans, and God is responsible for it; whereas, based on transcendent wisdom, natural evils are a necessity of the material world, and weakness in the material world is due to the level of the material world, and if the material world did not have this characteristic, it would no longer be matter.
