Anselm Of Canterbury, On Truth - Defining Justice In The Will - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the Medieval philosopher, theologian, and Benedictine monk Anselm of Canterbury's dialogue, On Truth (the first work in a trilogy including On Freedom of Choice and On The Fall of the Devil)

It focuses specifically on his discussion of justice in the will as truth or rectitude. The specifically moral conception of justice that deserves praise or blame is a matter of willing what one ought, because one ought, and in order to maintain that very rectitude, which allows Anselm to define justice in the will as "rectitude of will maintained for its own sake".
