Evil Problem in John Leslie Mackie Philosophy

مشاركة هذا الموضوع :

The article examines the problem of evil as articulated by John Leslie Mackie, within a skeptical and atheistic creationist framework, grounded in five core assumptions: Allah is all-goodness, Allah is all-powerful, Allah is all-knowing, Allah exists, and evil exists.

 Mackie engages with these premises through a logical and argumentative approach, aiming at deny the existence of Allah because the presence of evil renders Allah morally compromised. In other words, he explores the internal contradictions among these five assumptions by distinguishing between adequate and inadequate solutions. 

The article also addresses his treatment of human free will in relation to the existence of evil. However, we have refuted the majority of his philosophical and theological claims by drawing on the perspectives of Mu‘tazilites, Ash‘arites, and classical logicians.
