Abstract

It is the purpose of this article to answer Hare and Madden's criticisms of Whitehead's solution to the problem of evil (Process Studies, 2/1, 44-48).  In order to remove some confusion in the use of terms three sets of meanings for the terms persuasion, coercion and freedom are differentiated.  The paper defends Cobb's position that the really worthwhile power that God should exercise is persuasive and Ford's position that the massive excess evil present in the world is compatible with unlimited divine persuasive power.  [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
