In this presentation from the 6th Annual Felician Ethics Conference, held at Felician College, Dr. Gregory B. Sadler raises and explores the question:  What kind of moral theory does St. Anselm hold?  Is it a deontological theory? A Divine Command theory?  Something more like Natural Law Theory?  Or is it really a Virtue Ethics?  We engage in some pointed Q&A after the main presentation.
