| Summary: | This book is devoted to establishing the criteria by which a theodicy may be judged both logically and ethically adequate, and to a comprehensive analysis of Whitehead's theodicy in terms of those criteria. Aside from his position on the inevitability of genuine evil, Whitehead provides a theodicy which is superior to many others and which shows immense promise for the future of philosophical theology and theological ethics. Contents: The Theoretical Dimension of Theodicy; The Practical Dimension of Theodicy; Towards an Ethical Theodicy; Alfred North Whitehead; Whitehead's Process Metaphysic; Whitehead on Evil; Whitehead on Omnibenevolence; Whitehead on Omnipotence; The Theodicy of Alfred North Whitehead. |
