Description:

by Mary Beth Ingham, CSJ

Since the first publication of The Harmony of Goodness in 1996, much work has appeared in print on Scotus’ theological and philosophical vision including the gradual completion of the Vatican edition of Scotus’ Ordinatio. Various congresses and international gatherings continue to highlight the important significance of this great medieval thinker for the new millennium. Drawing upon the work of several significant scholars combined with her own deepened conviction that understanding Scotus’ moral philosophy and theology must be understood within the broader context of Franciscan spirituality, including the role of Stoic and monastic influences on the medieval Franciscans, , Mary Beth Ingham, C.S.J., offers this new edition of The Harmony of Goodness. Scotus’ articulation of a moral vision to lived harmony and to moral living as a path of beauty is offered anew by Ingham in this new edition.
