The content of the course is an analysis of the development of the answer to the question of the nature of evil. The changes in the answers to this question are framed historically, beginning with the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 and ending with the horrors of the Holocaust. From the eighteenth to the twentieth century there is a gradual abandonment of theological and generally religious solutions to the problem of evil. The gradual demarcation between metaphysics and ethics as a radical distinction between natural and moral evil can be described as one of the manifestations of the process of the constitution of modernity.
