In recent centuries, the issue of evil has been logically and contextually discussed against the existence of God and criticisms have been leveled to religious teachings. Philosophers and theologians suggest different solutions among which are Hick, the idea of theodicy of spiritual cultivation proposed by a Christian philosopher and theologian and Allame Tabatabaii’s belief that evil is not-existent and has to do with the material world and man’s free will. Despite having some similarities, these two views about justice have fundamental differences. This paper makes a comparison between these two views, sheds light on the different aspects of this question and provides a new solution
Title :مقایسهی راهحل مسئله شر از دیدگاه جان هیک و علامه طباطبایی
Abstract:
شر در قرون اخير به صورت منطقي و قرينه¬اي(عليه وجود خدا) مطرح و به منزلهی نقدي بر آموزههاي ديني مطرح شده است. فيلسوفان و متکلمان راه¬حلهاي متنوعي ارائه داده¬اند که از جمله پاسخها، پاسخ هيک (فيلسوف و متکلم مسيحي) است که تئوديسهی پرورش روح است و نيز پاسخ علامه طباطبايي که قايل به عدمي بودن شر شده، آن را لازمهی عالم مادي و اختيار انسان ميداند. اين دو نظريهی عدل باور با وجود نقاط اشتراک، داراي تفاوتهاي بنياديناند. در مقايسه و تطبيق دو نظريه، ابعاد مسئله روشنتر ميشود و راهحل جديدي بهدست ميآيد. لذا مقالهی حاضر به بررسي و تطبيق اين راهحلها ميپردازد.
