ONTOLOGIJA ZLA U KVIRINA VASILJA
ONTOLOGY OF EVIL IN KVIRIN VASILJ’S WORKS

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with understanding of physical, moral and metaphysical evil in Kvirin Vasilj’s philosophy. Since he does not accept existence of metaphysical evil as an individual reality (he understands metaphysical evil from the final goal or final character), we come to the question what kind of reality is acknowledged for physical and moral evil. Vasilj does not admit that physical evil is a simple lack of good (privation boni), but he sees its reality in a special form, at least as a separation of those which belong together or joining those which do not belong together. There is also a question which kind of relation physical evil has with moral evil and would people really suffer if anybody did not make mistake or if everybody was morally perfect. The paper tries to determine ontologically what evil should be with regard to its reality according to Kvirin Vasilj. For him it is not illusion but reality which a human must count with. Everyone deals with it in his/her own way, either the good ones become better in front of it, or the evil ones become worse. The problem is not simple – not even for Vasilj.
