In the spring of 1672, German philosopher and mathematician
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz arrived in Paris, home of France's two
greatest philosopher-theologians of the period, Antoine Arnauld and
Nicolas de Malebranche. The meeting of these three men represents a
profoundly important moment in the history of philosophical and
religious thought.
In "The Best of All Possible Worlds," Steven Nadler tells the
story of a clash between radically divergent worldviews. At its
heart are the dramatic--and often turbulent--relationships between
these brilliant and resolute individuals. Despite their wildly
different views and personalities, the three philosophers shared a
single, passionate concern: resolving the problem of evil. Why is
it that, in a world created by an all-powerful, all-wise, and
infinitely just God, there is sin and suffering? Why do bad things
happen to good people, and good things to bad people?
"The Best of All Possible Worlds" brings to life a debate that
obsessed its participants, captivated European intellectuals, and
continues to inform our ways of thinking about God, morality, and
the world.
