About the book: year / "Essays in Theodicy", otherwise experiments in the justification of God, Leibniz - the most important study of the question of how evil is possible in a world that God does not intend to leave . Leibniz examines the concepts of omnipotence, justice and mercy of God and shows the existential meaning of evil and death as the possibility of personal choice. Evil is irrevocable, but victory over it is the only guarantee of personality development. The problems posed by Leibniz are important for debates in modern philosophy about religion and atheism, about freedom and necessity, about inevitably evil choices (the “trolley problem”) and moral testing, and the exploration of other vexing questions.
