the school for good and evil
soman chainani
aquinas supported augustine's view that evil is a privation of goodness, maintaining that evil has existence as a privation intrinsically found in good. the existence of this evil, aquinas believed, can be completely explained by free will. faced with the assertion that humans would have been better off without free will, he argued that the possibility of sin is necessary for a perfect world, and so individuals are responsible for their sin. good is the cause of evil, but only owing to fault on the part of the agent. in his theodicy, to say something is evil is to say that it lacks goodness which means that it could not be part of god's creation, because god's creation lacked nothing. aquinas noted that, although goodness makes evil possible, it does not necessitate evil. this means that god (who is good) is not cast as the cause of evil, because evil arises out of a defect in an agent, and god is seen to be without defect. the philosopher eleonore stump, considering aquinas' commentary on the book of job, argues that aquinas has a positive view of suffering: it is necessary to contrast earth with heaven and remind humans that they still have the propensity to commit evil. aquinas believed that evil is acceptable because of the good that comes from it, and that evil can only be justified when it is required in order for good to occur. attempting to relieve god of responsibility for the occurrence of evil, aquinas insisted that god merely permits evil to happen, rather than willing it. he recognised the occurrence of what seems to be evil, but did not attribute to it the same level of existence that he attributed to spirituality. like augustine, aquinas asserted that humans bear responsibility for evil owing to their abuse of free will.
