This study explores the academic conflicts that Peter Abelard (d. 1142) found himself involved in as a result of his radical new ideas and his insistence upon his own correctness. Furthermore, the paper delves into Abelard’s theory of “pure intention” and how it relates to his view of his own actions, including his scholarly disputes and his affair with Heloise. Specifically, the question raised if Abelard understood why his behavior would often exasperate others or if he was so convinced that his “pure intentions” were correct that he failed to understand why others may find his behavior so unacceptable.
