Friedrich Schelling

Friedrich Schelling was a German philosopher known for his work on theodicy, which examines how a just and good God can allow evil in the world. Schelling proposed that evil is not a creation of God but a necessary aspect of freedom and the development of the world. He believed that through the struggle with evil, individuals can achieve a deeper understanding of good and a closer relationship with the divine. Thus, he emphasized the importance of human freedom in the pursuit of truth and moral development, providing a philosophical framework for addressing the existence of suffering and evil.
