Title: THE ANATOMY OF GOD AND THE PROBLEM OF EVIL - Lessons from an African Perspective
Speaker: Aribiah Attoe (University of Witwatersrand, South Africa)
Abstract: In this talk, I will provide a new response to the problem of evil from an African perspective. I will argue that the notion of a God that is conscious and intentional is mistaken. This is because these attributes are not based on any concrete information about the nature of God, and so are simply misattributions. Thus, I will argue for a new notion of God as a material and depersonalised entity, therefore redefining the African limited God view. I will also show that “evil” is merely a category of the mind. Finally, I will show how these ideas make the problem of evil irrelevant.
Chair: Francisco de Assis Mariano (University of Missouri-Columbia, USA)
