Ethics - Book by Peter Abelard

Name: Ethics
Author: Peter Abelard

Peter Abelard’s Ethics explores the concept of moral responsibility. He introduces the idea of intentions as a key factor in ethical decisions. Abelard believes that actions are morally right or wrong depending on the individual's intentions rather than the outcome. He argues that free will is essential for morality and that individuals must strive for purity of intention in all actions. His focus on internal motivations rather than external consequences challenges the conventional ethical frameworks of his time, proposing a more personal and subjective approach to ethics based on personal responsibility and conscious intention.
