In Platonism, the material world is not evil, but imperfect—a shadow or image of the perfect world of Forms. It has value insofar as it participates in the intelligible, eternal realities. The Demiurge (in Timaeus) is a benevolent craftsman, creating order from chaos out of goodness and reason. So for Plato, matter is not evil; it's less real, but still a meaningful part of the cosmos.
