The principal aim of this study is to examine the significance of the cardinal virtues in the moral thought of Western Christendom from its patristic beginnings until the Renaissance era, most notably in relation to the differentiation of secularized and religious conceptions of morality which developed from the twelfth century. Specific doctrines regarding the four virtues such as their interconnection, their internal hierarchy, their relation to other virtues and to the vices, their connection with the faculties of the soul, etcetera, receive attention in as far as they help to achieve this aim.
