{ "item_title" : "A God without a plan", "item_author" : [" Rodrigo Reis Lastra Cid "], "item_description" : "This book offers a theodicy of loneliness and alterity. To take the evidential problem of evil seriously, we must abandon the idea that God has a plan for the material world. God creates not from a plan but from a motive: healing a loneliness prior to creation. Being purely immaterial, God lacks the causal interface and indexicality needed to cause material events, so cannot author a specific material script. Matter, with its risks, emerges from finite minds' relational desire to leave loneliness and meet one another. Natural evil is thus a necessary structural byproduct of materiality-the condition of genuine alterity-without appeal to Adam's fall, demons, Leibnizian optimization, soul-making, or skeptical theism. The book defends restricted omnipotence (full power over the immaterial as immaterial; over the material as incarnate) and non-experiential omniscience (God knows all propositional facts but does not introspect qualia, which would destroy creaturely alterity). It critiques eight families of theodicy-free will, Leibnizian optimization, soul-making, limited gods, protest, skeptical theism, Adams on horrendous evils and non-ideal theory, and non-Christian theodicies (karma, Ash'arism)-arguing each fails at least one of three criteria: explaining evil without unfathomable mystery, offering a relational motive for creation, and avoiding disproportion and the moral obscenity of over-explaining. It develops original arguments on incarnation, heaven and hell, prayer and miracle, animal ethics, AI, and panpsychism. 本书提出一种孤独与他者的神义论。要严肃对待恶的证据问题，必须放弃上帝为物质世界制定计划的观念。上帝创造不是出于计划，而是出于动机：医治先于一切创造的孤独。上帝作为纯粹非物质的存有，缺乏引起物质事件所需的因果界面与索引性，故不能成为特定物质剧本的作者。物质及其风险，源于有限心灵渴望离开孤独、彼此相遇的关系性欲望。自然恶因此是物质性--真正他者性的条件--的必然结构性副产物，无需诉诸亚当堕落、魔鬼、莱布尼茨式最佳化、灵魂塑造或怀疑论有神论。本书主张受限的全能（对非物质作为非物质拥有完全权能；对物质作为道成肉身拥有完全权能）与非体验性全知（知所有命题事实，但不内省感受质，否则摧毁受造他者性）。它批判八大神义论：自由意志、莱布尼茨式最佳化、灵魂塑造、有限神、抗议神义论、怀疑论有神论、亚当斯论恐怖之恶与非理想理论、非基督教神义论（业力与艾什尔里派），指出各至少未满足三项标准之一：无需深奥奥秘地解释恶、提供关系性创造动机、避免失当与解释过度的道德猥亵。并原创论述道成肉身、天堂地狱、祈祷奇迹、动物伦理、人工智能与泛心论。Este livro propõe uma teodiceia da solidão e da alteridade. Para levar a sério o problema evidencial do mal, é preciso abandonar a ideia de que Deus tem um plano para o mundo material. Deus não cria por plano, mas por motivo: curar uma solidão anterior a toda criação. Sendo puramente imaterial, Deus carece da interface causal e da indexicalidade necessárias para causar eventos materiais; não pode ser autor de um roteiro material específico. A matéria, com seus riscos, emerge do desejo relacional de mentes finitas de sair da solidão e se encontrarem. O mal natural é, assim, subproduto estrutural necessário da materialidade - condição da alteridade genuína - sem recorrer à queda de Adão, demônios, otimização leibniziana, formação da alma ou teísmo cético.
