Reflecting on evil

U ovome smo radu nastojali promisliti podrijetlo zla služeći se teorijom teodiceje, kao i Augustinovim te Tominim promišljanjima zla kao lišenosti dobra. Ovome viđenju suprotstavili smo zbiljnost zla u liku Antikrista analizom filozofsko-književnog djela ruskog filozofa i mistika Vladimira Solovjeva. Propitivali smo sintagmu radikalnog zla prema Kantovoj moralnoj filozofiji, a zatim i sintagmu banalnog zla prema Hannah Arendt. Na kraju rada smo pokušali predstaviti zlo kroz mračni fenomen Auschwitza.In this paper, we tried to reflect on the origin of evil using the theory of theodicy, as well as Augustine's and Thoma's reflections on evil as the deprivation of good. We contrasted this view with the reality of evil in the form of the Antichrist by analyzing the philosophical-literary work of the Russian philosopher and mystic Vladimir Soloviev. We questioned the syntagm of radical evil according to Kant's moral philosophy, and then the syntagm of banal evil according to Hannah Arendt. At the end of the work, we tried to present evil through the dark phenomenon of Auschwitz
