The paper is devoted to the problem of creativity and its main ethical aspects: the Omnibenevolence Paradox and the Education Paradox. The first relates to the idea of God the Creator, who wishes only good, but permits a great deal of evil. The second relates to the first and is that any spiritual culture which educates for the inculcation of certain virtues in society inevitably inculcates with those virtues a number of corresponding vices. If the first paradox has still been considered as a purely theological problem and was repeatedly investigated by various philosophers, the second one, on the contrary, has been studied little, though in practice any spiritual culture constantly faces such an issue. The paper demonstrates that both paradoxes share the same general basic principle, and, therefore, are eliminated with the same method. To search out that method is the practical goal of this work. At the same time there are the following problems to be solved: to present the idea of God not in a tightly religious value, but in its broadest common cultural one, to investigate the general nature of the Omnibenevolence Paradox and the Education Paradox, to demonstrate the inadequacy of traditional attempts to solve the problem, to adopt the solution that remains after all the others have been rejected. |
