Description
The Problem of Animal Pain addresses one of philosophy’s most challenging questions: how can the existence of animal suffering be reconciled with belief in an all-powerful and benevolent God? Victoria Campbell provides a comprehensive analysis of this theological and philosophical problem, exploring various responses and their limitations.
This work examines the nature of animal consciousness, the reality of animal suffering, and the ways different philosophical and theological traditions have attempted to address this problem. Campbell considers arguments from theodicy, evolution, and divine omniscience, while critically evaluating their adequacy.
Part of the Elements in the Problems of God series, this concise yet rigorous examination is essential for anyone engaged with philosophy of religion, animal ethics, or theology seeking to understand how animal pain fits within broader metaphysical frameworks.
