A Kantian Response to the Problem of Evil: Living in the Moral World

James Sterba has presented a powerful and existentially sincere form of the problem evil, arguing that it is logically impossible for God to exist, given there are moral requirements prevent where one can, these would bind an all-powerful good God, who indeed be able such evil. The ‘Kantian’ argument I set out, if accepted, undermine following stage Sterba’s argument: Significant especially horrendous evil consequences immoral actions do obtain all around us, which, exists, have through his permission. Kantian will hold we believe that, in some sense, not really obtain, although they appear to. claim ‘persuasive’, but assumptions granted, response Sterba, which throws open different way looking at things. conclude with more informal reflections on what might take away from argument, even accept deep assumptions, or progression argument. worry too much about demonstrating this ‘correct reading’ Kant, think is.
