Good and Evil

The question of good and evil is among problems discussed by scholars and researchers from ancient times. Existence of evil affairs such as death، disease، disaster، poverty، impotence، pain، suffering، difference in creation and society، war، and Satan has caused some to believe in the lack of justice in the cosmic order. The approach of contemporary religious critiques to the question، however، has remarkably changed. Presenting answers of Islamic sages to the questions، the present essay offers the approach of some contemporary thinkers in this regard and precisely analyzes the problem from a philosophical perspective through expounding some well known opinions.
