dc.description.abstract	This thesis aims at understanding Plato’s conception of evil. For this we are trying to determine what evil is in various aspects of Platonic Philosophy. We are arguing that in all of these aspects, in ontology, cosmology, epistemology, politics and morality, evil is articulated negatively; in terms of contrariety or deprivation. In our investigation we are also using the term evil in an operative sense, which serves as a medium that enables us to trace the interrelations of these various aspects. Our investigation begins with an inquiry questioning the evil(s) in the city, for this we are considering the Laws X and the Republic. We then elaborate on Platonic ontology with regard to the Republic and the Sophist. The last part of our study considers the cosmology of Plato with an analysis of the Timaeus.
