The history of moral dilemma theory often ignores the medieval
period, overlooking the sophisticated theorizing by several
thinkers who debated the existence of moral dilemmas from 1150 to
1450. In this book Michael V. Dougherty offers a rich and
fascinating overview of the debates which were pursued by medieval
philosophers, theologians and canon lawyers, illustrating his
discussion with a diverse range of examples of the moral dilemmas
which they considered. He shows that much of what seems particular
to twentieth-century moral theory was well-known long ago -
especially the view of some medieval thinkers that some forms of
wrongdoing are inescapable, and their emphasis on the principle
'choose the lesser of two evils'. His book will be valuable not
only to advanced students and specialists of medieval thought, but
also to those interested in the history of ethics.
