Publisher's Synopsis
On The Substance Of Evil is a philosophical treatise written by Proclus, a prominent Greek philosopher who lived in the 5th century AD. In this book, Proclus explores the nature of evil, its origins, and its relationship to the divine. He argues that evil is not a substance in and of itself, but rather a lack or absence of goodness. Proclus also discusses the role of free will in the existence of evil, and the ways in which humans can overcome it through moral and spiritual development. He draws on a range of philosophical and theological sources, including Plato, Aristotle, and the Neoplatonic tradition, to develop his arguments. On The Substance Of Evil is considered a significant work in the history of philosophy, particularly in the area of metaphysics and ethics.THIS 108 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Proclus the Neoplatonic Philosopher, by Proclus .
