• Resumen

  • The author proposes to make a study of the ethical teaching of Ockham, as it appears in his Commentary on the Books of Sentences of Peter Lombard and in his Quodlibeta, in order to establish the norm or the criterion of morality. Ockham presents two norms; (a) objective and ultimate, which is the will of God; and (b) subjective and proximate, which is the rectitude of reason and human will. One may, therefore, speak of two systems of morality - one based on the will of man and the other founded on the will of God. According to the author the two systems stand in mutual relationship; there exists also a strict and intimate dependence of the one on the other. It is relevant to note that the doctrine of God's omnipotente constitutes a very important point in the philosophy of Ockham. As to the conditions required for a virtuous act, Ockham maintains that the act must be willed freely; it must be willed in conformity with right reason; and it must be motivated by the love of God and in obedience to his will. The study concludes with a critical note on this ethical theory of the franciscan thinker.
