In Kant and Theodicy: A Search for an Answer to the Problem of
Evil, George Huxford proves that Kant's engagement with theodicy
was career-long and not confined to his short treatise of 1791, On
the Failure of All Attempted Philosophical Theodicies, which dealt
explicitly with the subject. Huxford treats Kant's developing
thought on theodicy in three periods, each with its own special
character: pre-Critical (exploration), early-Critical (transition),
and late-Critical (conclusion). Illustrating the advantage of
approaching Kant through this innovative route, Huxford argues that
Kant's stance developed through his career, from an essentially
Leibnizian starting point to his own unique authentic theodicy;
Kant rejected so-called philosophical theodicies based on
theoretical/speculative reason but advanced authentic theodicy
grounded in practical reason, finding a middle ground between
philosophical theodicy and fideism, both of which he rejected;
Kant's work in natural science and his Critical epistemology served
to constrain his theodicy; and Metaphysical Evil conceived as
limitation and Kant's Radical Evil perform the same function,
namely providing the ground for the possibility of moral evil in
the world. nevertheless, Huxford concludes that Kant's authentic
theodicy fails because it fails to meet his own definition of a
theodicy.
