Abstract: The book review discusses Viktor Ilievski's work "Plato's Theodicy: The Forgotten Fount," which delves into Plato's philosophical responses to the problem of evil and God's benevolence. Ilievski argues that Plato's theodicy addresses the coexistence of evil and God's goodness by suggesting that God is not fully omnipotent. The review highlights key chapters where Plato explores the nature of evil, emphasizing the importance of individual moral responsibility in the face of suffering. Ilievski's meticulous research aims to position Plato as a theologian and offers fresh insights into Platonic theology, making it a valuable resource for scholars interested in theodicy and Plato's philosophy.
