This module will be a journey through Western intellectual history to see how the problem of evil has been approached in different times and why. We will start with popular representations and understandings of good and evil in philosophy and art, and then turn to an analysis of The Book of Job, which, being a thorough theological investigation into the universal theme of unjust human suffering, is often regarded as one of the biblical answers to the problem of evil. This will be followed by discussing the theological problem of evil \u2013 the question of how God can allow so much evil and suffering in the world \u2013 as well as attempts at defending the idea of an omnibenevolent and omnipotent God. We will then jump to how these problems were reinterpreted in modern times by looking at modern moral philosophy and an existentialist reading of the Book of Job by the 19th-century Danish philosopher S\u00f8ren Aabye Kierkegaard. We will go \u201cbeyond good and evil\u201d by consulting Friedrich Nietzsche, discuss how the literature of the absurd responds to the radical violence of the 20th century, and face the banality of evil and the problems it poses to the idea of free will and ethical choice, as explored by Hannah Arendt.\n                <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        <!-- MODULVEZET\u0150 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;\n                    flex-wrap:wrap;\n                    background:#f4c94f;\n                    border-top:1px solid #d3aa2e;\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 260px;\n                        padding:26px clamp(28px,4vw,52px);\n                        box-sizing:border-box;\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin:0 0 9px;\n                            font-size:12px;\n                            line-height:1.2;\n                            font-weight:800;\n                            letter-spacing:0.1em;\n                            text-transform:uppercase;\n                            color:#20252a;\"><br \/>\n                    Module leader\n                <\/div>\n<div style=\"max-width:980px;\n                            font-size:clamp(17px,1.3vw,21px);\n                            line-height:1.55;\n                            font-weight:600;\n                            color:#20252a;\"><br \/>\n                    S\u00e1rosi Andr\u00e1s\n                <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        <!-- VISSZAL\u00c9P\u00c9S --><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding:22px clamp(28px,4vw,52px);\n                    background:#fffdf7;\n                    border-top:1px solid #d8d2c4;\"><\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/milestone-institute.org\/modulkatalogus\/\"\n               style=\"display:inline-block;\n                      color:#20252a;\n                      font-size:16px;\n                      line-height:1.4;\n                      font-weight:700;\n                      text-decoration:none;\n                      border-bottom:2px solid #f4c94f;\n                      padding-bottom:3px;\"><br \/>\n                \u2190 Vissza a modulkatal\u00f3gushoz<br \/>\n            <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The aim of this module is to introduce students to the philosophical and theological discussion of good and evil.
