Uloga savjesti u etičkom prosuđivanju i djelovanju

Abstract

<p>Nakana je ovog rada pružiti doprinos boljem razumijevanju savjesti i njene uloge u etičkom prosuđivanju i djelovanju. Savjest je posljednja instanca u prosuđivanju ljudskog djelovanja. Opće je poznato i prihvaćeno da čovjeka obvezuje samo njegova savjest. No, upravo stoga valja promisliti što se uistinu može smatrati sudom savjesti. To je posebice aktualno danas kada se nerijetko previđa da je savjest subjektivna norma, te da i sama treba biti normirana. Budući da savjest nije uvijek ispravna, posebna se pozornost posvećuje i odgoju savjesti. Rad se pritom oslanja poglavito na djela Tome Akvinskog, Immanuela Kanta i zastupnika etike situacije.</p>

<p>The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the better understanding of conscience and its role in ethical judgment and actions. Conscience is the last resort in the judgment of human actions. It is generally known and accepted that a person is only restrained by his conscience. Precisely for that reason it is necessary to consider what can actually be considered the judgment of conscience. That is especially important nowadays when people frequently forget that conscience is a subjective norm and thus needs to be normalized itself. Since conscience isn't always right, special attention is paid to the forming of conscience by upbringing. The paper is based mainly on the works of Thomas Aquinas, I. Kant and the proponents of situation ethics.</p>
