| Summary: | The problem of theodicy (1) is a specificly modern problem, although the critical mass obvious since G. W. Leibniz' formulation, has been accumulated by centuries of religious and ontotheological history. Whereas (2) all modern Solutions, i. e. modern theodicies and their interdiction of complaint resp. compulsion of action, seem to have failed, the problem itself cannot be suspended or neutralized (by moral protest, theoretical criticism, functionalization, etc.) wherever "modernity" represents a claim to acting and thinking. The content of the problem (3) is not only the scandal of human suffering but the incomprehensibility of free but vicious and violating actions of men; thus, in criticizing modern naturalism, it insists in the paradox of freedom. There is (4) a common interest of philosophical and theological thinking to realize the ambivalent complexity of modernity and the problem of theodicy, and, distinguishing itself from religious practice, to reformulate the practical seriousness and the theoretical challenge involved in human action in the context of continuous evil. |
