One More Attempt of Improving Theodicy: Thomistic Reflections on the Problem of Evil

Summary/Abstract: The review of: “Aquinas and the Cry of Rachel. Thomistic Reflections on the Problem of Evil. For Adelė Dirsytė” by John F. X. Knasas; Washington, DC: The Catholic University of America Pres, 2013. – 304 p. ISBN 978-0-8132-2176-2 The notice contains the review and analysis of the monograph by the United States of America professor of philosophy John F. X. Knasas Aquinas and the Cry of Rachel: Thomistic Reflections on the Problem of Evil. In this study, the author proposes Thomistic version of theodicy based on ratio entis metaphysics. He claims that such theodicy is free from the drawbacks characteristic to now fashionable personalistic and cosmological theodicies. He is convinced that his theodicy could bring consolation to Rachel. Nevertheless there are some serious reasons preventing readers to share author’s believe: the complexity of the subject and a lot of analogical categories expressed by scholastic Latin terms.
