Abstract

One paradigmatic argument from evil against theism claims that (1) if God exists, then there is no gratuitous evil. But (2) there is gratuitous evil, so (3) God does not exist. I consider three deontological strategies for resisting this argument. Each strategy restructures existing theodicies which deny (2) so that they instead deny (1). The first two strategies are problematic on their own, but their primary weaknesses vanish when they are combined to form the third strategy, resulting in a promising new approach to the problem of evil.
如何解决恶的问题
一种从恶论到有神论的典型论证认为:(1)如果上帝存在,那么就没有无端的恶。但是(2)有无端的邪恶,所以(3)上帝不存在。我考虑了三种义务论策略来反驳这一论点。每一种策略都重新构建了现有的否定(2)的神正论,从而否定(1)。前两种策略本身都有问题,但当它们结合起来形成第三种策略时,它们的主要弱点就消失了,从而产生了一种解决邪恶问题的有希望的新方法。
