Synopsis

Conscience, science, and faith collide—and connect—in this incisive exploration of how moral life grounds our world.

This volume presents a clear, thoughtful case for conscience as a central human power that guides choices with obligation and rightness. It frames the debate between religion and science by linking ethical feeling to the living questions of modern biology, philosophy, and culture. The author argues that conscience points to a personal God and offers a foundation for science that respects both reason and moral experience.

What you will experience

• A practical definition of conscience and its scope in everyday life.


• A bridge between ethical intuition and scientific ideas about heredity and development.


• Engaging discussion of influential thinkers, from Kant to contemporary critics, and how they bear on belief.


• Illustrations drawn from literature and history to illuminate how conscience acts in real people and moments.

Ideal for readers curious about how moral sense, religious belief, and scientific inquiry can illuminate one another, this edition speaks to students, teachers, and general readers seeking a thoughtful, accessible defense of core religious ideas in a modern world.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The object of the Boston Monday Lectures is to present the resnlts of the freshest Gkrman, English, and American scholarship on the more, important and difficult topics concerning the relation of Keligion and Science. They were begun in the Meionaon in 1875; and the audiences, gathered at noon on Mondays, were of such size as to need to be transferred to Park-street Church in October, 1876, and thence to Tremont Temple, which was often more than full during the winter of 1876-77, and in that of 1877-78. The audiences contained lazge numbers of ministers, teachers, and other educated men. The thirty-five lectures given in 1876-77 were reported in the Boston Daily A dvertiser, by Mr. J. E. Bacon, stenographer; and most of them were republished in full in New York and London. They are contained in the first, second, and third volumes of Boston Monday Lectures, entitled Biology, Transcendentalism, and Orthodoxy. The lectures on Biology oppose the materialistic, and not the theistic, theory of evolution. The lectures on Transcendentalism and Orthodoxy contain a discussion of the views of Theodore Parker. The thirty lectures given in 1877-78 were reported by Mr. Bacon, for the A dvertiser, and republished in full in New York and London. They are contained in the fourth, fifth, and sixth volumes of Boston Monday Lectures, entitled Conscience, Heredity, and Marriage. In the present volume some of the salient points are: 1. The definition of conscience as that which perceives and feels rightnoti and o Migatorinefts in choices (p. 17).

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
