Question Description

Read the problem of evil as presented in Chapter 8 and then consider it in light of hedonism as discussed in Chapter 7. Both talk about "good' and "evil." The problem of evil is a proof against the existence of God, and the evil of hedonism relates to something that should be avoided at all costs in order to maximize pleasure.

1. Are they using "good" and "evil" in the same sense? If not, does this complicate our attempts to address the problem of evil, since it is concerned with why God allows evil?

2. What solution to the problem of evil could one find in Hedonism, if any? Explain.
