This book defends antitheodicism, arguing that theodicies, seeking
to excuse God for evil and suffering in the world, fail to
ethically acknowledge the victims of suffering. The authors argue
for this view using literary and philosophical resources,
commencing with Immanuel Kant's 1791 "Theodicy Essay" and its
reading of the Book of Job. Three important twentieth century
antitheodicist positions are explored, including "Jewish"
post-Holocaust ethical antitheodicism, Wittgensteinian
antitheodicism exemplified by D.Z. Phillips and pragmatist
antitheodicism defended by William James. The authors argue that
these approaches to evil and suffering are fundamentally Kantian.
Literary works such as Franz Kafka's The Trial, Samuel Beckett's
Waiting for Godot, and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, are
examined in order to crucially advance the philosophical case for
antitheodicism.
