Resumen
Tradicionalmente, el problema del mal gira en torno a la cuestión de conciliar la coexistencia del Dios omnipotente y omnibenevolente y el Mal. En respuesta a esta amenaza, los filósofos utilizan un concepto generalizado y abstracto del mal para construir un argumento más sólido en su contra. En este artículo, cuestiono este método y abogo por un giro práctico en el problema del mal y en la necesidad de estudiar el concepto del mal abordando ejemplos concretos de las manifestaciones del mal. Propongo estudiar lo último desde la perspectiva corporizada (fenomenológica). El mal se convierte en un caso de experiencia corporal vivida que la religión puede ayudar a abordar. Así, al introducir el concepto del cuerpo en medio del trilema tradicional, desplazo las cuestiones hacia la coexistencia e interrelación de tres sujetos separados: Dios, el Mal y la Agencia Humana. Esta perspectiva corporizada ofrece una nueva mirada al concepto del mal, sacándolo de un círculo problemático intelectual estrictamente abstracto y abre una posibilidad de expansión metodológica y estudios interdisciplinarios adicionales de la cuestión.
