| Summary: | The aim of this study is to identify the conceptions of justice that structure Peter Abelard’s theory of divine justice, i.e., the rewarding of merits and the punishment of sins, as well as his theory of human justice. Adopting a chronological approach to Abelard’s work, the study documents the way that Abelard moves from a philosophical conception of justice (where celestial and human justice are strongly connected) to a more legalistic conception of justice. Indeed, in the last stage of his thought, Abelard offers a view of human justice as purely pragmatic, useful for the protection of the commonwealth, whereas God alone can ground His justice on equity and charity.\n4207 \n4207 |
