| Summary: | This collection of essays, based on papers from a conference organized by the editors in July 2002, considers the development of casuistic literature and of the understanding of conscience from the late Middle Ages to the Early Modern period. The useful introduction places questions of conscience against this background. This was an era which saw shifts in religious and political allegiance, in the understanding of marital and sexual mores, and in the context of science: all these were the context not only of the practical application of casuistry, but also of a shifting understanding of the rights and responsibilities of the individual. |
