Resumo: Ethics is a matter inscribed in medieval philosophy, although without the relevance of metaphysical speculation and logical analysis (Williams, 2018). Christian ethics has a set of crosscutting topics (happiness, friendship, freedom, righteousness) which are articulated with various domains of knowledge (legal / law, economic / profit, religious / religious / sin / salvation / grace). The aims of the text are two: one, to show that ethics is transversal (but not dominant) and has a practical meaning. Several texts are referred to clear the concept of ethics as a righteousness of life, highlight the stoic and patristic matrix and register their presence at the university. The methodology is analytical, and the expected results belong to two different orders: to supply anti-medieval prejudice and to place ethics in the script of medieval readings and investigations. This text starts from these assumptions (transversal and connected to) but questions the singular use of the term 'ethics'. Should one speak of medieval ‘ethics’ or ‘ethics’ in the medieval period? The answer to the question describes a zigzag between one term and the other, depending on the authors being studied, the events and the directions of formation in the European world.

Los objetivos del texto apuntan, por un lado, a mostrar que la ética, de matriz estoica y patrística, está inscrita en el pensamiento medieval como una justicia de la vida y, por otro lado, registrar su presencia en la fase incoactiva de la universidad. La metodología es de naturaleza analítica debido al tipo de incursiones realizadas en los textos. Los resultados esperados son de dos órdenes: suministrar el prejuicio anti medieval y colocar la ética en el guión de futuras lecturas e investigaciones. Este texto cuestiona el reduccionismo retro-proyectivo que reemplaza la diversidad del pensamiento ético medieval con un modelo ético único. Basándose en esta suposición, se cuestiona el uso singular del término 'ética'. ¿Se debe hablar de "ética" o "ética" medieval en el período medieval? La respuesta a la pregunta describe un zigzag entre un término y el otro, dependiendo de los autores estudiados, los eventos y las direcciones de formación en el mundo europeo.  A ética é matéria de reflexão da filosofia medieval, embora sem a centralidade tida pela especulação metafísica e análise lógica (Williams, 2018). Sem considerar o pensamento islâmico e judaico medieval, a ética cristã revela um conjunto de tópicos transversais (felicidade, amizade, liberdade, retidão) a vários domínios do saber (jurídico/lei, o econômico/lucro, religioso/pecado/salvação/graça). Os objetivos do texto visam, por um lado, mostrar que a ética, de matriz estoica e patrística, se inscreve no pensamento medieval como retidão de vida  e, por outro, registar a sua presença na fase incoativa da universidade. A metodologia é de natureza analítica devido ao tipo de incursão que se faz nos textos. Os resultados expectados são de duas ordens: suprir o preconceito anti medieval e colocar a ética no roteiro de futuras leituras e investigações. O presente texto  questiona o reducionismo retro projetivo que substitui a diversidade do pensamento ético medieval por um modelo ético único. A partir deste pressuposto  questiona-se o uso singular do termo ‘ética’. Deve-se falar de ‘ética’ medieval ou de ‘éticas’ no período medieval? A resposta à pergunta descreve um ziguezague entre um e outro termo, consoante os autores evocados, os acontecimentos e os rumos de formação do mundo europeu.  Universidade Estadual de Maringá2020-04-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciEduc/article/view/5166810.4025/actascieduc.v42i1.51668Acta Scientiarum.
