A Modern Take on the Theodicy Conundrum: Comparing Kiyozawa Manshi and Søren Kierkegaard on Akunin Shōki

Summary: Next in our continuing series of presentation from the 2008 IBS Winter Symposium, Rev. Mark Blum gives a spirited paper on the "problem of evil" from a Buddhist/Western philosophical perspective. His argument is based in part on an interpretation of akunin shoki, or "evil persons" in Shinshu thought. Originally recorded February 28, 2008 © 2008 Mark Blum
