Description
This session will bring together scholars offering new perspectives on the role and form of ethics within the rich monastic intellectual culture. New research on the availability of texts of moral theology in monasteries, and new analyses of how ethics and moral theology was fundamental to monastic intellectual and cultural life, provides a basis for a new synthesis of monastic ethics in this golden age of western monastic intellectual culture. This session offers a contribution towards such a synthesis.
