| Synopsis: |
In the early modern period, the conscience stood as a powerful mediator between God and man, directing and judging moral actions. This collection conveys the breadth of the conscience's jurisdiction, analyzing its impact on politics, religion, science, and the understanding of gender and sexuality. It demonstrates how individuals resolved ethical problems in these areas through applying the methods of casuistry, the branch of theology devoted to resolving difficult moral cases. However, casuistry itself was challenged by newer sources of moral guidance.BERNARD CAPP Professor of History, University of Warwick NICHOLAS DAVIDSON Lecturer in Modern History and Tutorial Fellow, St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford MICHAEL HUNTER Professor of History, Birkbeck College, University of London JAMES KEENAN Professor of Moral Theology, Weston Jesuit School of Theology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA RUDOLF SHLER Professor of Philosophy, University of Bayreuth, Germany JOHANN SOMMERVILLE Professor of History, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA JOHN SPURR Reader in History, University of Wales, Swansea MARTIN STONE Professor of Philosophy, Leuven Catholic University, Belgium DAVID TURNER Lecturer in History, University of Glamorgan ALEXANDRA WALSHAM Senior Lecturer in History, University of Exeter. |
