The ontology of fallibility and the problem of evil Between philosophical thought and mystical perception

Abstract

The problem of evil has been the focus of human attention ever since it was found as a thinker. It has been thought of as a philosopher, a scientist, a mystic, or an ordinary person. Through the ages, he continued to ask questions about the source of the evil and the cause of itsexistence, and how to eliminate it. And if one team went to return the source of evil, to the creator of the universe or metaphysical forces, another team considered that the human being, specifically his lustful and angry powers, is the source of all evil, and agrees with the last perception of theFrench philosopher, Paul Ricoeur, who confirmed after investing all previous philosophical views on him about The problem and source of evil is that the human soul is the object of error and the source of evil, because man is an embodiment whose fallibility is in his formative fragility and the possibility of evil is inscribed in the structure of his being, this possibility which he called "the fallibility". In it he meets the Sufi mystical vision that confirms that evil emanates from the human fallible soul, and that the whims and tendencies of the soul are the first directing of man towards good or evil. This is what we will try to show in this research paper
