 Despite his unrelenting criticisms of many of Scotus’ positions, William of Ockham’s moral theology develops, rather than dismisses, the main lines of Scotus’ ethical deliberations. Ockham too is concerned primarily with the preservation of volitional freedom, both divine and human. Ockham specifically rejects the theory of natural law for determining human acts invariably toward an intellectually determined end. His insistence upon the dignity of human nature and the absolute power of the will for self-determination lead Ockham to reject his predecessors’ morality of natural law. Ockham’s critique of the metaphysics of common nature was not limited to logical and metaphysical speculation; it pertains also to his moral doctrine, wherein the will must be free even to choose ‘evil which is neither really or apparently good.’
