Book Description
Excerpt from The Socialized Conscience To the practical minded student, whether prospective teacher, lawyer, physician, or merchant, traditional ethics seems to offer little in the way of suggestion for the solution of many of our newly created moral problems. To him the discussions often seem formal and abstract. And yet the big fact remains that if these problems are ever to be finally solved, their solution must be worked out in harmony with moral law. The purpose of this book is to suggest in present day psychological and sociological terms a working hypothesis - a moral criterion - by means of which the different types of moral situations may be met with some degree of consistency. The author has attempted to state in clear and untechnical terms a point of view with regard to the moral life; and has sought to show how it may be applied in dealing with typical moral situations.

Conscience in Early Modern English Literature
Author: Abraham StollPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 110831211X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Conscience in Early Modern English Literature describes how poetry, theology, and politics intersect in the early modern conscience. In the wake of the Reformation, theologians attempt to understand how the faculty works, poets attempt to capture the experience of being in its grip, and revolutionaries attempt to assert its authority for political action. The result, Abraham Stoll argues, is a dynamic scene of conscience in England, thick with the energies of salvation and subjectivity, and influential in the public sphere of Civil War politics. Stoll explores how Shakespeare, Spenser, Herbert, and Milton stage the inward experience of conscience. He links these poetic scenes to Luther, Calvin, and English Reformation theology. He also demonstrates how they shape the public discourses of conscience in such places as the toleration debates, among Levellers, and in the prose of Hobbes and Milton. In the literature of the early modern conscience, Protestant subjectivity evolves toward the political subject of modern liberalism.

An Introduction to Fundamental Moral Theology
Author: Robert Ignatius LetellierPublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 103640059X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
This book discusses fundamental morals, that branch of theology that studies human acts and the sources and motivations of these deliberate acts. This can help the disciple of Jesus Christ to direct these acts to the loving vision of God, understood as his/her true, complete happiness and final end. This study principally examines the foundations of fundamental moral theology, the ideas underpinning this major category of doctrine in the Christian Church, the equivalent to an ethics of religions. While this theology derives its basic moral teaching from the Bible, it adds other distinctive emphases, namely, the concept of the ius naturale (the Natural Law), a tradition drawn from hierarchical ecclesial teaching and from human reason. This encompasses social teaching, medical ethics, sexual ethics, and various doctrines on individual moral virtue and moral theory. The exposition explores how the advent of Jesus Christ, his life and teaching, is central to this theology. A bridge between faith and reason is needed to grasp principles and moral imperatives, and to perceive the positive in human law. The discussion explains why it is necessary further to understand the implication of the individual moral conscience, and the freedom to make moral decisions.
