About
An exploration of how theodicy fails to interact with concrete examples of life suffering. The legacy of the Rwandan genocide is examined through the lens of the 'protest theodicy' of Dostoyevsky's character Ivan Karamazov, which itself is based upon Dostoyevsky's observation of real life suffering as reported through the Russian press. While Ivan's protest claims to champion the consideration of innocent suffering, the judgment of this paper is that it does no better than traditional theodicy in countenancing the suffering found in history, and can provide no answer to, nor comfort for either survivors of the Rwandan genocide or any participant in other examples of 20th and 21st century horrors.
