An Essay on the Origin of Evil is a philosophical treatise on the nature of evil, written by John Gay and William King. The authors argue that the existence of evil in the world is not incompatible with the idea of a benevolent God, but rather is a necessary consequence of human free will. The essay is a fascinating exploration of one of the oldest and most difficult problems in philosophy, and offers valuable insights into the nature of morality and the human condition.
