The End of Evil

Theology

“"I particularly admire Suchocki's historical sense. She lodges the problem of evil in the development of the western tradition, and treats a variety of extremely different contexts--from Augustine to Nietzsche--with care and competence. As her own view, which is of course an extension of Whitehead's, begins to unfold in the second half of the book, it is enriched and clarified by her account of the background out of which she understands it to have emerged. I was also impressed by Suchocki's ability to maintain a successful tension between her own religious commitments--frankly stated in the introduction--and a rigorous, disinterested philosophical analysis.”
