Medieval Philosophy (ca. 1225–1308)
Carl A. Vater
The medieval period is vast. During this period, philosophical and theological thought was conditioned by five particularly important historical considerations: the new mendicant orders, the foundation of the university, the influx of new texts, the Condemnations of 1270 and 1277, and the major figures of the period.
Moral Systems
Christopher Kaczor
Four philosophical approaches to moral theory dominate contemporary discussions. These approaches are duty-based ethics, consequentialist ethics, nihilistic ethics, and virtue ethics.
Moral Theology: An Introduction
Ryan Connors
Unlike other fields of theological study, the subject of moral theology is precisely the action of God drawing man to himself by means of graced human acts.
