Responses to Evil Through History - Kwame Anthony Appiah

Anthony Appiah, Professor of Philosophy at New York University, delivers a talk at Facing History and Ourselves' Day of Learning: Confronting Evil in Individuals and Societies. Appiah demonstrates the difficulties philosophers in the 18th century faced in determining how natural evil (natural disasters, for example) was possible in a world created by an omnipotent, loving God, and describes the ways in which some philosophers sought to respond to this problem.
