Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1896, this early works on Conscience and Law is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. PREFACE: A glance at the table of Contents will show the intestinal connection of the following chapters. The chapter on Conscience - as conscience is the internal rule of human conduct, and the chapter on law - as law is the external rule of human conduct, have suggested the title of this volume. Five of the chapters have in substance already appeared as articles in 'The Month'. These have been extended and revised. A sixth chapter on Restitution has been added; and this completes our present consideration of the subject... Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conscience and Law: Or Principles of Human Conduct Man has been so made as to be capable of having a threefold knowledge - a knowledge of himself, a knowledge of his fellow-creatures, and a knowledge of his Maker. Every human being has a mind, and every human being knows that he has a mind. He knows that his mind is made for knowledge. The human mind craves for knowledge. With possession of knowledge the mind is satisfied. The craving ceases when knowledge is had with certainty. The mind is then at rest. Through knowledge of the true the human mind is intellectually perfected. Knowledge nevertheless exists in man's mind not merely in order to man's intellectual perfection, but in order also to the action of knowledge on another power of man's soul. Every human being has a will, and every human being knows that he has a will. This will is of itself a blind power. It requires enlightenment from a source outside itself. This is derived to it from the mind, or the intellectual and rational power of man's soul. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been made for a service which no one of its predecessors could be persuaded to render. It embodies the lectures its author has given to his classes in Ethics, and is, what it purports to be, distinctively a text-book. It touches existing controversies only so far as is necessary for the elucidation or defence of its own positions. The aim has been to condense rather than to expand its discussions, and to diminish rather than to multiply its pages. - Preface.

This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE CONSCIENCE OF JUDGES AND APPLICA nON OF LEGAL RULES The book is devoted to the problem of the influence of moral judgements on the result of judicial decision-making in the process of application of the established (positive) law. It is the conscience of judges that takes the central place in the research. Conscience is understood in the meaning developed in the theory of Thomas Aquinas as the complex capacity of the human being to make moral judgements which represent acts of reason on the question of what is right or wrong in a particular situation. The reason why we need a theory of conscience in making judicial decisions lies in the nature of the positive law itself. On the one hand, there is an intrinsic conflict between the law as the body of rigid rules and the law as an living experience of those who are involved in social relationships. This conflict particularly finds its expression in the collision of strict justice and equity. The idea of equity does not reject the importance of rules in legal life. What is rejected is an idolatrous attitude to the rules when the uniqueness of a human being, his well being and happiness are disregarded and sacrificed in order to fulfil the observance of the rules. The rules themselves are neither good or bad. What makes them good or bad is their application.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Moral Science: An Essay I shall not be surprised. To find the success of the attempt questioned and denied by many, if not most, of those who have Spent the best part of their lives in the study of the great Catholic writers on morals. I admit, nay claim, that some important conclusions at which I have arrived differ from those of the ordinary hand books ou Human Acts, Laws, and Conscience, and are not to be found in any published treatise with which I am acquainted. If it were otherwise, I should not have thought of writing or publishing. Very soon after I began to teach Moral Theology, I noticed a considerable difference between the principles of the science as explained in the treatise on Human' Acts, and the less general conclusions reached later on, when dealing with particular virtues. As time advanced this difference seemed to increase rather than diminish, and I resolved to try whether I could not formulate the principles so that, while perfectly reasonable in them selves and breathing the spirit of the School, they might stand the test of being brought into comparison with all the less general, and therefore more easily ascertained, conclusions of moral science. Unless forced by what I deem compelling reasons I have not ventured to advocate a new form of statement: the reader must decide for himself whether the reasons that appeal to me so strongly are as conclusive as I deem them. Those who have begun the study of moral theology or ethics by reading the treatise on Human Acts, may be disposed to think that the treatise in question, with which all our hand-books commence, was developed and put into its present shape before the special treatises that come later on and deal with particular virtues, such as charity, religion, chastity, or justice and that these special treatises are practical applications of more general prin ciples previously formulated. The reverse is true. The trea tise on Human Acts is a synthesis of conclusions previously deduced when dealing with special virtues. Hence the natural order is to test the more general principles by applying them to the solution of special cases, somewhat as the student of nature tests a law by seeing whether it harmonizes with observed facts or even with previously ascertained less general conclusions. It may be, of course, that these less general conclusions are not true, or that the facts have not been correctly observed, or that the observation has not been sufficiently exhaustive. If, however, you are satisfied that the special conclusions are true, while you cannot make them square with the more general principle or law, nothing remains but to give this principle or law a new shape, so that it may be brought into harmony with the other ascertained results of science.
