A Full Consideration of "Reasonable Life"; Allameh Jafarira's View on the Solution to the Problem of "Evil"

In scientific texts, there are some questions such as the problem of evil, which empirical science cannot fully answer, and only religion and philosophy can play a role in these matters. Using a documentary analysis, the present paper examines the views of late Allameh Jafari on evil. He believes that in order to solve the problem of evil, it is necessary to explain two issues: life and its philosophy, and the justice and wisdom of God in the creation and destiny of humans. From his point of view, the judgment of human beings about the defects and evil in the natural world depend on their judgement about world and life events through a life-oriented outlook. If man reaches an immaterial and clear understanding of the system of being, and his tendency to a "reasonable life” is increased, he definitely abandons the natural interpretation of divine justice, is freed from the natural self, and the issue of evil will no longer pose a problem for him.
