| Sumario: | The article tries to show that a detailed analysis of chapter 12 of De Veritate, which places it in its near and distant context, does not reveal the slightest trace of ethical formalism. Through a dialectic movement, Anselm succeeds in establishing that the rectitudo cannot be reduced to debitum, but that this debitum, although supposed and assumed, is overcome by the love of good for its own sake (propter se). This is what Anselm's Justice consists of. This nuclear conclusion is an indispensable condition for understanding the other two works that complete the magnificent moral "triptych" of the Doctor: De libertate arbitrii and De casu diaboli. |
