On the existence of evils
Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press. Edited by Jan Opsomer & Carlos G. Steel (2003)
Abstract
He also protected higher causes from responsibility by saying that evil may result from a combination of goods. Proclus objects: evil is real, and not the mere privation of form. Rather, it is a parasite feeding off good. Parasites have no proper cause, and higher beings are thus vindicated as being the causes only of the good off which evil feeds."--BOOK JACKET.Author's Profile
