摘要

人类邪恶的证据在这个世界上是如此的透明，以至于任何理性的人都无法否认它的真实性。本文从非洲哲学的角度探讨了人的问题，探讨了表面上自由行动的人与被认为是世界的创造者和人类的终极原因的上帝之间的关系。这篇论文将提供以下问题的答案:在一个非洲传统宗教和思想所设想的世界里，人类在多大程度上可以免除他们所犯下的罪恶的责任，因为这个世界是一个崇高的神的创造，他可以预见人性的消极倾向，应该让人性一直向善倾斜?这篇论文将对非洲哲学话语中关于人性的辩论做出新颖的贡献，通过将人类重新塑造为一个忧郁的人，或者忧郁的人，他们在世界上的邪恶倾向可以在现实的悲剧性视野中得到最好的理解。

The Human Being, God, and Moral Evil

The evidence of human wickedness in the world is so transparent that no rational person can dispute its reality. This paper approaches the question of the human person from an African philosophical perspective and explores the relation between the apparently free-acting human being and God conceived as the creator of the world and the ultimate cause of the human being. The paper will proffer answers to the following question: to what extent can the human being be absolved of blame for the evil they perpetrate in a world conceived in African traditional religion and thought as the creation of a high deity who could have foreseen the negative bent of human nature and should have made human nature inclined to goodness all of the time? The paper will make novel contributions to the debate about human nature in African philosophical discourse by recasting the human being as a homo melancholicus, or melancholy being, whose evil inclination in the world can best be understood in the context of a tragic vision of reality.
