Abstract

The problem of evil is presented as a major challenge to human knowledge, especially the so-called spirit of science, given the scope of its manifestation in the various dimensions of life, the complexity of their understanding and threats to the care of the self. The human being is directly involved in the question of evil by being aware of oneself and the other, to be able to free choice and have moral responsibility. The search for understanding of what is evil comes from antiquity with thinkers of philosophy, theology and science that in his works discuss the issue in its ontological dimensions, metaphysics and pragmatic. There are other even greater consequences for the question of evil, not only evil in nature (physis), but also on the specific nature of the human (Anthropos), since this has consciousness and is for that can discern between good and evil. This paper aims to reflect philosophical-theological way over evil as a challenge to the care of being, from thinkers of antiquity and modernity. For evil issue of study we opted for bibliographic qualitative analysis of classic texts of Western thought. As a result, we expect to be able to point reflexively to the ethical implications involving human as possible cause and responsible for the evil action, as the care is either the being of nature, be yourself or be another in dialog attitudes and respect for people and cultures. The effectiveness of the presence of evil in the world manifests in all forms of neglect, makes us think of the final appeal of the universal Christian prayer: "Deliver us from evil" (Matthew 6:13). But we know that the theme of evil can never be exhausted because it exceeds the human capacity to its fullest understanding, since we are part of your reality.
