Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz viewed evil as a necessary component of the best of all possible worlds. He argued that while evil exists, it serves a greater purpose in the grand scheme of the universe, contributing to the overall harmony and balance of creation. Leibniz distinguished between moral evil, which arises from human free will, and metaphysical or natural evil, which is inherent in the physical world. Ultimately, he believed that God's goodness and wisdom ensure that the existence of evil leads to a greater good.
