Plotinus' Response to the Existence of Evil
Plotinus argues that evil does not actually exist, but rather, it is an absence of goodness. He believes that everything in the world possesses a certain amount of unity, and the more unity something has, the more real it is. According to Plotinus, evil or bad things are not a separate entity, but rather a result of a lack of goodness. He illustrates this idea by emphasizing that bad qualities or acts can only exist in relation to some inherent good. Therefore, evil is just an absence of good.
