The Varieties of the Problem of Evil in the Context of Covıd-19

Summary/Abstract: Covid-19 epidemic has resurfaced one of the most significant matters of religion philosophy, the problem of evil and its varieties. Although the problem of evil has a long history, it continues to be an agenda topic on discussion platforms. One of the main issues Atheists criticize Theists about is “evil”. However, they still don’t have a satisfactory answer regarding this very question. Concerning this issue, Philosophers are quite different. They absolutely have opinions about this problem. According to some, evil shall exist so that we can realise the great value of kindness, for some it’s necessary for the aesthetics of our universe and for some it’s a basic problem that seeks an answer. Here, in the context of evil we will re-examine the Covid-19 epidemic and different acts of evil (that comes along with it). Whatever the answers might be, the answer will always be seeked by masses. Another argument that keeps evil alive is “The God Issue”. In the context of this argument, we can state that there are criticisms that express the meaninglessness of God and there are criticisms that express the non-existence of God. In that respect, we must know that those who advocate religion’s meaningfulness are no less than those who criticise religion. In the context of Covid-19 discussions, God and all religions are being retargeted. The problem of evil is categorized into 3 different versions by philosophers and yet there are still different classifications. They’re natural, moral and metaphysical acts of evil. According to another classification, there are existential, logical and evidential acts of evil.
