Abstract: (50 Views) |
Modern theology as liberal theology is against classical theology. In this school, the teachings of classical theology have been challenged. One of the practical topics of modern theology in the problem of evil is the explanation of good and evil in terms of pleasure and pain and its relationship with the denial of classical theology, including Islamic monotheism. Dr. John Haspers, the head of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Southern California, by explaining the definition of good and evil in the two areas of "super-ethical" and "normative ethics", has sought to define good and evil and claims to deny the divine God.
The main problem of this research is to explain, examine and criticize the thought of John Hospers in the field of definition of good and evil.
The research method is data collection, library studies, critical analysis of the materials based on the sources found in the works of John Hospers.
According to the findings of the research, Hosperus proves that good is pleasure and evil has a parallel relationship with suffering, which is rejected in three categories: "the originality of pleasure", "belonging to pleasure and pain" and "identification of evil and pain". |
