O problema do mal repensado : uma abordagem filosófico-teológica em Andrés Torres Queiruga

Abstract

Evil has always been a problem that has given both philosophy and religions thinking. This task is not finished. We will here reflect the problem of evil in its condition of inevitability, sustained in the finitude and limit of the reality of creation itself. We will depart from evil as a reality that affects every human being, independent of his beliefs, demystifying the classic dilemma of Epicurus. Through the concept of pisteodicéia we will perceive that each person, group, or religion will find its answers and ways of dealing with evil. To speak of theodicy we will distinguish the "short way" and the "long way". The first portrays the traditional view of theology, where, even in the contradiction between arguments, it helps to maintain trust in God despite evil. The "long way" wants to show a logical faith, with coherence of arguments. It wants to guarantee the reasonableness of theodicy, built from the assumption of the autonomy of terrestrial realities demonstrating the action of God Love in the world, as Antimal. This continued action guarantees the creature, not the elimination of all evils in this world, but the fullness of eternity. This itinerary makes it possible to rethink various theological theories, among them original sin, the miracle, the holocaust and hell, as well as a new image of God translated into new language.
