Abstract
James Dundas (c.1620-1679) wrote a 313-page manuscript Idea philosophiae moralis (The idea of moral philosophy). The book, which was unfinished at his death, has never been published. It covers a wide range of moral philosophical topics, including, at the end, questions relating to death. The last completed sections were on suicide, just war and duelling. In each of these sections Dundas takes into account theological principles that have their source in Calvin, or at least, more broadly in Reformed orthodoxy.
