This work is a metaphysical investigation, a study of the nature of evil, the modes in which it finds expression, and its relation to cause, as revealed in the metaphysics of Thomas Aquinas. Although the problem of evil is one of the most urgent and vital questions of our time and Thomistic philosophy indicates the most satisfactory answer, the apologetic possibilities of the subject have been subordinated to its metaphysical aspects. The most important is the treatment of goodness, for without the good, no study of evil is possible.
