| Summary: | Conscience is a complex phenomenon that has a special place in the arguments of moral theology. It is a constitutive of the human person and as such not bound to specifically theological arguments. It refers back to the freedom and responsibility of humans, and as an argument within moral theology it appeals to a basic trust in human agency. Therefore, the appeal to conscience as a yardstick for judging human acts morally right or wrong is an opening to interreligious and intercultural dialogue, despite the many problems inherent in this approach. |
