Saint Simon Claude Henri de Rouvroy‚ comte de Saint-Simon‚ often referred to as Henri de Saint-Simon (17 October 1760–19 May 1825) was a French utopian socialist thinker.

Aquinas proposes that the problem of evil is not a proper question to be asking because those asking it are not taking into account God’s nature. In this paper‚ I will contend that Aquinas incorrect in his assertion that it is not a legitimate question and I will argue that the problem of evil is a question that requires an answer. To do so I will juxtapose Aquinas against other thinkers on the problem of evil
