He also explored the competing claims ofjustice and mercy in the intimate settings of courtship and family, as in 'Much Ado about Nothing,'where gender warfare and sibling rivalry threaten but cannot derail the play's uproarious comedy,and 'Hamlet,' where the cost of revenging a father's murder is the destruction of two entire fami-lies. His most profound treatments of the theme of punishment and forgiveness can perhaps befound in mature romances such as 'Measure for Measure,' where attempted rape and murder cryout for justice but are answered with equity.

PhilosophyPHIL 398U ST: The Problem of Evil

23444 01B 3 Online – Zelinski $1,197Traditionally in western philosophy of religion, the problem of evil is the problem of reconcilingthe existence of the evil (or suffering) in the world with the existence of an omniscient (all-know-ing), omnipotent (all-powerful) and omnibenevolent (all-good) God. Proponents of the problem as-sert: if God exists and has all these attributes, then there would be no evil; yet evil (i.e.,tremendous suffering) clearly exists. In this course, we will examine various versions of this prob-lem as well as various traditional and contemporary responses to it. Moreover, since the problemof reconciling evil/suffering with a conception of 'the Sacred' extends beyond Monotheism, wewill also examine approaches to this general and deep problem from other major world religions.
