Conscience Outsourced - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Conscience is a survival tool for humankind, hammered out over millennia on the anvil of life experience. It is where our ideas of morality, right and wrong, fairness and honour live. If we outsource these to the law we need to be sure that they will be in safe hands.

This book discusses some important concepts. 'Unconscionable' - not in accord with conscience. 'Unconscionable but not illegal'. Profitable but not honourable. It investigates the link between democracy and conscience, showing that democracy needs support from the conscience. At the base of every threat to democracy is an unconscionable act.
