Overview

Excerpt from Conscience: Its Origin and Authority IT is an outstanding example of the com mon-sense of English people that, although the foundations of Theology are questioned, the credentials of Morality have passed for the most part unchallenged - at least, in theory. The subject is treated as sacro sanct. Literature - which has been de scribed as the expression of souls in re volt - may from time to time repudiate current standards; but, speaking generally, novel teaching on morals has fallen in sterile soil, or lives an artificial and exotic life. The reason probably is that while common consent can still be invoked to justify, or at least support, the current moral standards, it is felt to be foolish as Well as dangerous to inquire too closely into the credentials of a tradition which has proved itself to have high social value. Yet it becomes year by year more questionable whether this large exception can be made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
