Conscience is one of those words that seems to have fallen out of favor, much like honor, chivalry, and obedience.
I mean, when was the last time you used the word 'conscience' in a conversation, a post, or in your thoughts? I know that it's not part of my active vocabulary in any way (today being a grand exception).
so does 'conscience' have any applicability in the mind? as a thing of independence? or was it just a construct used to encourage some sort of societal compliance, in a quasi religious sense, along with the constructs of 'guilt' and 'shame'.
or does conscience have its effects, and we don't register it by its name anymore; sort of like intuitive biases that present themselves when we might consider making an act of separation, but biases (intuitive) from former experiences (ie past lives) register strongly that this would be an inappropriate act given our past choices and leanings in the other direction.
what do you think the conscience is?
