Medieval
Theories of Practical Reason
Anthony Celano - acelano@stonehill.edu
Medieval theories of moral reasoning have their origins in the
moral theology of St. Augustine and the rational ethics of
Aristotle. Until the thirteenth century Augustine's responses
to questions concerning free will, predestination, the nature
of goodness and divine freedom dominated moral speculation in
the Latin West. For Augustine morality demands the human
will's conformity to the prescriptions of the immutable,
necessary and eternal law. Augustine argues in his work on
free will that the eternal law "is called supreme reason,
which must always be obeyed, and through it the evil deserve
an unhappy life and the good a blessed life; and through this
law we have derived temporal laws rightly constructed and
correctly emended." The ideals of eternal law are
universally imprinted upon human intellects and are the
immutable standards by which human actions may be judged.

In diesen Artikeln geht es um das grundsätzliche Verständnis
des Mittelalters. Sie sind möglichst kurz gehalten
und erlauben damit einen schnelle Eindruck über
bestimmte Denkmuster und Empfindungen im Mittelalter.
Diese kurzen Einführungen sollen zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt
durch ausführlichere Referate ergänzt und vertieft werden.
