Leibniz, Classical Theism, and the Problem of Evil

Why Classical Theism Must Affirm That Our World is the Best of All Possible Worlds

Beschreibung

This book offers a defense of Leibniz's theodicy and his claim that our world is the best of all possible worlds. It considers Leibniz's rationale for "optimism," examines its roots in ancient and medieval thought, and highlights the very real challenges of evading optimism from within the framework of classical theism.
