Susan Neiman examines the evolution of the problem of evil from the Lisbon earthquake to the twentieth century, tracing how philosophers have grappled with the relationship between morality and reality. By analyzing the shift from theological explanations to secular interpretations, the text provides a rigorous intellectual history of how modern thought defines human suffering and systemic injustice.
