Dear Colleague,
You are invited to participate in the next session of the Logic and Religion Webinar Series which will be held on *October 19, 2023*, at *4pm CET* with the topic: *Why doesn't Candomblé have a Problem of Evil? * *Speaker*: José Eduardo Porcher <https://www.jeporcher.com/> (Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) *Chair*: Ricardo Silvestre <https://www.logicandreligion.com/silvestre> (Federal University of Campina Grande, Brazil) Please, register to receive a zoom link: https://www.logicandreligion.com/webinars Abstract: In this talk, I would like to do two things: first, to look at mythic narratives and try to pry from them a reasonably uncontroversial set of attributes of the Supreme Being of Yoruba-diasporic traditions and see if this explains the inexistence of the problem of evil in Candomblé; and second, by so doing, to call attention to how myths can enrich and be instrumental to the philosophy of religion—especially in contexts in which other sources are sparse. Moreover, I’d like to take this opportunity to exemplify that we can shed light on neglected traditions by trying to figure out why these problems are not raised within them—rather than trying to make a tradition fit the classical problems formulated by an overwhelmingly theistic (and more specifically, Christian) philosophy of religion. Join us 5 minutes prior to the beginning of the session!
