Abstract

The article outlines the notion of God as an element of metaphysical hypothesis of A.N. Whitehead and his treatment of the problem of evil. A deeper investigation of the question in the “whiteheadian theodicy” worked out by D. Griffin is examinated as well as his discussion with John Hick who underlines shortcomings of the process theology, charging it of “elitism”. The main problem is the meaning of objective immortality in God and its possible religious relevance. How can be thought a personal immortality in the whiteheadian metaphysical scheme and can a theodicy be adequate, if it lets open the problem of personal immortality?
