Ep 81: The Problem of Evil (Part 15)- Process Theism | Creative Solution or A New Gnosticism?
As we discussed in Part 14 of this series, the 20th century brought unimaginable human moral evils, and yet much beneficial human progress. Our basic understanding of how the universe functions also shifted. Our Newtonian perspective gave way to Einstein and then to quantum physics.
Perhaps, the metaphysics of classical theism need to be reexamined too if we're to properly address the problem of evil?
Enter the philosopher and mathematician Alfred North Whitehead and his new school of philosophy and theology known as process theism (aka process thought, process philosophy, etc).
In today's episode, we'll explore what this new philosophy and theology is all about and how it attempts to address the problems with evil and suffering that proponents feel were inadequately addressed in more classical & traditional theologies.
Is process theism a creative new solution, or is it simply a new kind of gnosticism?
