Between Creativity and Norm-Making
Tensions in the Early Modern Era
Series: - Studies in Medieval and Reformation Traditions, Volume: 165
The time of the transition from the Middle Ages to the onset of early modernity (c. 1400-1550) is a very complex one. It brought what on first sight appear to be contradictory developments. Human creativity and freedom became much more important; yet, at the same time, the foundations were laid for systems that allowed control to be exercised over virtually every aspect of human social life. How can we put these two phenomena together? Which tendency is the stronger one? The contributions in this volume focus on the tension between creativity and norm-making from the perspective of different academic disciplines, so as to shed light on this fascinating period in our history.
Sigrid Müller, Dr. (1999) in Theology, University of Tübingen, is Professor of Moral Theology at the University of Vienna. She has done extensive research in the fields of Late Medieval nominalism and history of ethics, including Handeln in einer kontingenten Welt: Zu Begriff und Bedeutung der recta ratio bei Wilhelm von Ockham (Tübingen/Basel, 2000).
Mag. Cornelia Schweiger is research assistant in Moral Theology at the University of Vienna. She has worked on the History of Moral Theology (especially on the question of Natural Law) and on the relationship between faith and ethics with a special focus on John Rawls.

ââThis is a valuable contribution to the growing study of the transitions between the medieval and early modern period, one which provides valuable food for thought and space for further examination of important aspects of a crucial period of historical and cultural transition and innovationââ.
