Pierre Chetelat. Title: "Hegel's Philosophy of World History as Theodicy: On Evil and Freedom."
Abstract: My objective is to explore what Hegel means when he claims that his philosophy of history is theodicy. I demonstrate the inadequacy of what I refer to as the means/end interpretation: the view that the philosophy of history is theodicy because it shows that evil events are a necessary part of history's progression towards the final good. As Hegel himself claims, it is theodicy because it demonstrates that evil is overcome in history with the actualization of freedom. I make sense of this claim by examining how freedom for Hegel involves the capacity to transcend evil, i.e., to endure pain.
