This is an attitude that is both irrational and unintelligible, enabling a connection to be made between Plotinus' view of evil as unintelligible matter, that is, impassive and inactive nature; and Hegel s view of evil as that which is real and active, but against reason. The solution to the problem then suggests itself, through a clarification of the unintelligible, evil, as intelligible, making manifest what is the true nature of evil; and the good, being rational, is thus demonstrated to be forever true, like the truths of logic and mathematics, and evil, being irrational, is shown to be an already proven falsehood.</p> </div> </td> <td style="background:url(tabs/tii_69.png) repeat-y"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="tabs/tii_72.png" alt="" /></td> <td style="background:url(tabs/tii_74.png) repeat-x"></td> <td><img src="tabs/tii_79.png" alt="" /></td> </tr> </table> <p class="MsoNormal" align="right" style='text-align:right'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;'>© ;0B>=>2A:>5 >1I5AB2>, 2018 3. </span></p> <p align="right" style='margin-top:0mm;margin-right:3pt;margin-bottom: 0mm;margin-left:-36.0pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:right'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;'><a href="../index3.htm">  !!# $ &</a></span></b></p> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --> </td> </tr> </tbody> </body> <!-- InstanceEnd --></html>
