The above paper presents the problem of evil according to Aristotle. It appears after all in the theodicy, where a philosopher admits the existence of all-good and all-powerful God the Creator and at the same time may state the evidence of physical and moral evil in the world. Moreover some philosophers argue and say that the existence of evil implies the nonexistence of God itself. In order to defend the idea of God against this criticism, we ought try to define precisely the concepts of God’s goodness and His omnipotence. Very important to solve the problem of evil is also its right understanding. According to Aristotle the evil is a kind of disorder or deviation from the right nature. He distinguishes the physical and moral evils. In the final point of the paper there are proposed some solutions to these problems of evil.
