ДОБРИ БОГ У СВЕТУ ЗЛА: ОД МЕТА-ЕТИКЕ ДО ХОЛОКАУСТА
THE GOOD GOD IN A WORLD OF EVIL: FROM META-ETHICS TO THE HOLOCAUST

Summary/Abstract: Leibniz’s theodicy, as one of the most famous approaches to this problem, represents the starting point, but not the main point of the work. Leibniz argued that this world is “the best of all possible worlds,” within which every act and every situation, including evil, can be understood as part of a divine plan leading to the highest good. However, Leibniz’s theodicy is not the only one subject to criticism and reexamination, particularly in light of tragic historical events such as the Holocaust. The second part of the paper is dedicated to analyzing the Holocaust as a moral and theological challenge that directly questions any justification for the suffering that occurred during that period. The Holocaust represents an extreme form of abuse of human life, and as such, it raises the question of the existence of a God who is not only omnipotent and good but also an active participant in the moral order of the world.
