Intentionality, Belief, and the Logical Problem of Evil
Religious Studies 56 (3):419-435 (2020)
Abstract
This paper provides a new defence against the logical problem of evil, based on the naturalistic functional/teleological theory of mind (NFT). I argue that if the NFT is self-consistent then it is consistent with theism. Further, the NFT entails that it is not possible for created minds to exist in the absence of evil. It follows that if the NFT is self-consistent then the existence of God is consistent with the existence of evil.Author's Profile
