 One of the most prominent representatives of the Franciscan intellectual tradition, Bonaventure (1217–1274) lectured on the Sentences at Paris from 1250 until 1252, when he became regent master in the theology faculty, a position he held until 1257. His commentary on the Sentences is the fruit of these lectures, and it is in this work that he discusses the topics of conscience and synderesis. For Bonaventure we not only possess innate moral knowledge, but we also have an inextinguishable inclination towards achieving the good. Our inborn knowledge of the former, that is, of the natural law, is associated with conscience, which resides in the intellect, while our inclination towards desiring the good is associated with synderesis, which inheres in the will.
