In Mackie's 'Evil and Omnipotence', he addresses the "free will reply" from the theist.
What does Mackie say about the reply that evil is a result of God giving us free will?
He asks why God couldn't have made it such that humans always freely choose good
If free will = randomness, and randomness REQUIRES there to be bad choices, then we're not truly free (we're required to make some bad choices)
Which philosopher famously wrote 'Groundwork on the Metaphysics of Morals', leading to a prominent ethical tradition named after himself
Immanuel Kant
Kantianism (deontology)
