Philosopher Eleonore Stump and CCT Director Evan Rosa discuss the problem of suffering. This discussion has been ongoing for centuries, and the prospect of ever arriving at a fully satisfying answer seems impossible. However, Dr. Stump suggests that we supplement the philosophical approach to this question with a narrative one. Viewing experiences of suffering through the lens of narrative may offer some uniquely helpful perspectives. Also discussed in this interview is an account of the phenomenology of suffering, as well as the project of theodicy in light of the Christian tradition.
