Ethics was a central preoccupation of medieval philosophers, and
medieval ethical thought is rich, diverse, and inventive. Yet
standard histories of ethics often skip quickly over the medievals,
and histories of medieval philosophy often fail to do justice to
the centrality of ethical concerns in medieval thought. This volume
presents the full range of medieval ethics in Christian, Islamic,
and Jewish philosophy in a way that is accessible to a
non-specialist and reveals the liveliness and sophistication of
medieval ethical thought. In Part I there is a series of historical
chapters presenting developmental and contextual accounts of
Christian, Islamic, and Jewish ethics. Part II offers topical
chapters on such central themes as happiness, virtue, law, and
freedom, as well as on less-studied aspects of medieval ethics such
as economic ethics, the ethical dimensions of mysticism, and sin
and grace. This will be an important volume for students of ethics
and medieval philosophy.
