About On the Existence of Evils (Ancient Commentators on Aristotle)

Proclus’ On the Existence of Evils is not a commentary, but helps to compensate for the dearth of Neoplatonist ethical commentaries. The central question addressed in the work is: and “How can there be evil in a providential world? and ” Neoplatonists agree that evil cannot be caused by higher and worthier beings. Plotinus had said that evil is matter. Unlike Aristotle, he collapsed evil into mere privation or lack, thus reducing its reality. He also protected higher causes from responsibility for evil by saying that evil may result from a combination of goods. Proclus objects: evil is real, and not the mere privation of form. Evil, in his formulation, is a parasite that feeds upon good. Higher beings are thus vindicated: they are the causes only of the good upon which evil feeds.
