Colm,
your question whether acts are forbidden because they are wrong or
wrong because they are forbidden may derive from the question whether
the bonum is ontologically founded and an object of the intellect or
an object of the will with more or less transcendental foundation (ens
et bonum convertuntur). The latter position is that of the
Franciscans, and espacially of John Duns Scotus, but the genuine
voluntarism you allude to belongs to William of Occam. It is very
unlikely that Scotus Erigena as a platonist could have held such a
position, as our colleague wrote whose name I have lost
Karl
