Description
The author identifies some twenty-one historical solutions to the problem which are then reduced to eight quite distinct solutions. Prof Herman then turns in the second part of the book to the history of the problem of evil in Indian thought.
Beginning with an examination of the Indian doctrine o samsara or rebirth, he examines its possible origins in the Vedas, it status in the Upanisads, the Bhagavad Gita, in several classical darsanas including Buddhism, Jainism, Vedanta, Samkhya and Nyaya.
