Expectations and the Problem of Evil

This chapter explores the axiological expectation mismatch concerning the presence of evil in a world believed to be governed by an all-powerful, loving God. It discusses the challenges faced by both theists and non-theists in reconciling their beliefs about goodness with the reality of suffering, emphasizing the philosophical implications of pessimism and the problem of no best possible world. Through contrasting views from historical philosophers, the dialogue brings to light the complexities of existence, free will, and the nature of divine greatness.
