    The problem of evil is regularly regarded as posing a serious threat to theistic belief. However, contemporary philosophers of religion have overlooked the ways in which this problem has been, or could be, handled by theists committed to the metaphysics of idealism. In seeking to redress this lacuna, I turn to the systems of the British idealists, popular in the late nineteenth century though now out of favour, and in particular the work of F.H. Bradley, while also drawing parallels with the Advaita Vedanta school of Hinduism. The central argument of this paper is that these idealist traditions have greater resources to adequately deal with the problem of evil than comparatively mainstream theist views. While standard forms of theism struggle to make sense of the facts of evil, or are even resoundly defeated by them, the conception of divinity suggested or developed by the British idealists offers possibilities for innovative and fruitful ways of thinking about the relationship between God and evil.

    W.E.B. Du Bois' Ausdruck der double consciousness (doppeltes Bewusstsein, The Souls of Black Folk, 1903) bleibt einer der einflussreichsten Begriffe der Soziologie und der Psychologie des Rassismus. Dieser Blogpost untersucht die Parallele dieser Idee mit den poetischen Kategorien von Friedrich Schiller aus seinem Aufsatz "Über naive und sentimentalische Dichtung" (1795). Dabei zeigt sich eine strukturelle Gemeinsamkeit zwischen dem weißsein und dem Naiven einerseits und zwischen double consciousness und dem Sentimentalen andererseits. Ebenso wie das Naive sich nie als solches erkennen kann, ohne ins Sentimentale überzugehen, bleibt die weiße Mehrheit ihren Privilegien gegenüber blind, solange sie nicht von Schwarzen oder anderen Minderheiten darüber aufgeklärt wird. Diese strukturelle Ähnlichkeit zwischen Schiller und Du Bois mündet in einem Vergleich der transatlantischen Austauscherfahrung des Autors im Jahr 1992 mit der von Du Bois in 1892. Das Erlebnis der Alltäglichkeit in einer fremden Kultur hatte entgegengesetzte aber gleichermaßen aufschlussreiche Wirkungen auf die beiden. ; W.E.B. Du Bois's notion of 'double consciousness' (The Souls of Black Folk, 1903) is one of the most influential and enduring concepts in Race Studies. This blog post traces its parallels with Friedrich Schiller’s poetic categories in his essay "On Naive and Sentimental Poetry" (1795) to reveal a structural resonance between whiteness and the naive on the one hand, and double consciousness and the sentimental on the other. Just as the naive cannot know itself as such without becoming sentimental, majority whites are blind to their privilege without the tutelage of Blacks and other minorities. This structural similarity between Schiller's and Du Bois's concepts in turn invites a comparison of the author's transatlantic student exchange in 1992 with that of Du Bois in 1892. The experience of everydayness in another culture had opposite but similarly revelatory impacts for their subsequent lives.
