Abstract The problem of evil and the injustice it brings out has a long history in western philosophy and it has been one of the core arguments against the existence of God as an all-powerful and all-good Being. In a number of texts Meillassoux agrees with this line of argument, but he also argues that atheism fails to take into account the injustice of evil. His central thesis is that while the existence of evil discounts the existence of the ‘revealed’ God, he proposes a messianic vision where we can hope for the arrival of a God who will have the power to rectify the injustices that have been committed. To justify the possible arrival of such a being Meillassoux describes the world as a contingent place such that things happen without a necessary reason. This explains why, in the past, novel and inexplicable situations (‘advents’) have arisen and, possibly, others might arise. One such possibility is the arrival of a God who will redeem all the injustices suffered within the world.

论昆汀·梅亚拉索与邪恶问题

摘要邪恶及其带来的不公正问题在西方哲学中源远流长,一直是反对上帝存在的全能和全能之核心论点之一。Meillassoux在许多文本中都同意这一论点,但他也认为无神论没有考虑到邪恶的不公正性。他的中心论点是,在邪恶的存在使“显露的”上帝的存在蒙上阴影的同时,他提出了一个弥赛亚式的愿景,在这里我们可以希望上帝的到来将有能力纠正已经犯下的不公正。为了证明这种存在的可能到来,Meillassoux将世界描述为一个偶然的地方,使得事情发生而没有必要的理由。这就解释了为什么过去 出现了新颖而莫名其妙的情况(“来临”),并且可能还会出现其他情况。一种这样的可能性是上帝的到来,他将赎回世界上所有遭受的不公正待遇。
