In this book, Professor Sami Pihlström provides a novel critical reassessment of the theodicy discourse addressing the problem of evil and suffering. He develops an antitheodicist view, arguing that theodicies seeking to render apparently meaningless suffering meaningful or justified from a “God’s-Eye-View” ultimately rely on metaphysical realism failing to recognize the individual perspective of the sufferer. Pihlström thus shows that a pragmatist approach to the realism issue in the philosophy of religion is a vital starting point for a re-evaluation of the problem of theodicy.Pragmatic Realism, Religious Truth, and AntitheodicyWestern philosophy, from c 1900 -bicsscPhilosophy: metaphysics & ontologybicsscEthics & moral philosophybicsscPhilosophy of religionbicsscWestern philosophy, from c 1900 -Philosophy: metaphysics & ontologyEthics & moral philosophyPhilosophy of religion231/.8Pihlström Samiaut864347BOOK9910377435903321Pragmatic Realism, Religious Truth, and Antitheodicy: On Viewing the World by Acknowledging the Other2008911UNINA
