you're mistaken. evil is not merely things you don't like. the world was destroyed by a flood, remember. was that act of God "evil"? every natural thing in the world is good. and evil can come from good when the good involved is man and his choices. but otherwise not.

>(X) How does Aquinas satisfy the question why evil exists at all if God exists?
You're asking "why ... God"? Seriously?

And you would know the answer to half of these if you had read Aristotle like you were supposed to.

You haven't been paying attention. We have several problem of evil threads every week.

not really. especially if you consider that evil is a mortal adjective, probably misapplied to perfect and good and unknowable divine end.

>>14006366
looking at that passage now.

>Only ugliness is to be attributed to the influence of matter, and even there the perfect forming principles are present, hidden but given as wholes.
Pretty much with the above.

this is a VERY weird passage. I want to refute it, but every time I want to grab an arm he agrees with what I understand to be the case.

>character of things being mutually obstructive
pic related. evil is confirmed of natural origin. see also: Girard, mimetic desire, buddhists on attachment

>the struggle with evil is a process of building up a mode of utilization by the provision of intermediate elements introducing a complex structure of harmony
harmony being one of the three qualities of beauty, the ideal of beauty of course being God

>The evil of the world is that those elements which are translucent so far as transmission is concerned
In other words, often unconsidered or unidentified by man in his decision making. Unexpected. Unintelligible. The darkness that does not understand the light (John 1).
