If God is a loving Father, why does he allow the sickness and pain of innocents? And if the universe is the work of a superior Intellect, how can we justify the chaos that pervades it? Who has never encountered the inadequacy of certain explanations when faced with the true face of suffering? Common experience raises a thousand doubts for believers and non-believers alike. Vito Mancuso (Il male e il suo mistero, Garzanti) courageously reflects on what remains when joy fades and hope doesn't seem enough: the evil we feel and suffer, the evil that exists, the evil we face within and without. Between impulses toward good and a different awareness, a mystery that questions. Giorgio Scianna.
