Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
The study explores the potential benefit of philosophical concepts of theodicy for theological reflection. First, the study turns back to the Enlightenment, when the question of theodicy played a crucial role in the shaping of the modern view of Christianity, or major monotheistic religions in general. It deals with one of the most significant concepts of the time, the essay on theodicy by G. W. Leibniz. Second, it takes notice of the reception of Leibniz’s thought in certain philosophical currents at the turn of the twenty-first century, which also resonates in contemporary discussions. It deals mainly with issues made popular in the works of Richard Swinburne, a British philosopher and active supporter of the idea of modern theism. Third, the study attempts to answer the following questions: What are the potential motivations for raising the question of theodicy today? Is theodicy a fundamental, or a marginal question? Can the philosophical concepts of theodicy be useful for further theological reflection?
