Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental questions surrounding morality and the nature of human action. It examines the philosophical and theological arguments surrounding the concept of conscience, challenging the prevailing view that morality is simply a matter of self-interest or societa…l conditioning. The author explores the writings of prominent thinkers, including Plato, the Stoics, and Bishop Butler, to demonstrate how the notion of an inherent moral compass has been recognized throughout history, even within different cultural and religious traditions. The book's central theme is the existence of a universal, God-given moral law that transcends individual desires and external pressures. This law, the author contends, is discernible through our innate capacity for moral judgment, what he refers to as "conscience." This exploration of the internal world of the human soul provides a foundation for understanding the moral imperative and its implications for individual conduct and societal structures. The book's insights offer a compelling alternative to the purely utilitarian view of morality, reminding us of the intrinsic value of virtue and the importance of seeking a deeper understanding of our own moral nature.
