Within a participatory framework of metaphysics, evil is characteristically seen as a matter of privation. If all being, characterfulness, and action are had by creatures as a participation in, or from, God, then evil is a failure or occlusion of that participation. In this chapter, evil-as-privation is explored in terms of evil as washed-out, senseless, and always taking a form that is strictly relative to the particular good of the particular creature. The chapter ends with a discussion of the non-concurrence of God in evil, and how it might be that evil is possible. Evil is seen to have the character of non-relation between creatures.
