Abstract

Outside of the theological context, the question of evil must be addressed within the broader frame of a phenomenology of conscience. Faced with the inevitability of evil, conscience demands responses that go beyond the simple acknowledgment that evil necessarily happens. The mystery of evil in its dramatic complexity involves man not only for what he is necessarily forced to suffer, but also for what is directly attributable to his initiative. In this second case, evil is the result of a free choice which involves a reflection on its conditions of possibility and therefore on its ontological dimension. What appears as irrational, therefore as "alogos", is intrinsically inexplicable and incomprehensible; yet, in this absence of "ratio" it is real, it is what it is without any "ratio", it is what needs to be taken care of.
