		In this case, Blish has taken on the age-old battle of good vs. evil.
		A Case of Conscience is a brilliant piece of storytelling, and it packs a lot into a scant 242 pages.

	CONSCIENCE AND THE COUNCIL
		Conscience is the most secret core and sanctuary of a man. There he is alone with God, whose voice echoes in his depths.
		In fidelity to conscience, Christians are joined with the rest of men in the search for truth, and for the genuine solution to the numerous problems which arise in the life of individuals and from social relationships.
		It is indeed true that, when conscience considers specific acts, it is necessary in the individual cases to keep in mind other elements, including those of a subjective nature: but, to the extent that it is within the possibility of the subject, these elements must not contradict the objective norm of morality.

	Right Reason: Conscience as a stern monitor
		In such cases, conscience's sternness cannot be invoked to defend the claim of duty, because what is really at issue is the logically prior permissibility claim.
		In that case, when conscience is silent about some action, we are in a similar boat with the mathematician who has tried to prove a proposition but failed.
		Well, ceteris paribus, by the conscience claim, A is more likely to be forbidden than to be permissible, and the same is true for B. Hence, it is more likely than not that in the case of A we have genuinely progressed, and that in the case of B we have genuinely regressed.

	THE AGONY OF CONSCIENCE
		The very preachers of freedom of conscience, to the extent to which they did not base it on the religious principle, created tragic illusions and, in fact, were not infrequently the first to fail to respect it.
		In any case the answer depends on the relationship of the action, by means of conscience, with the first principles or categorical imperatives which express the fundamental exigencies of the human spirit with regard to its own existential vocation.
		This is either because it hesitates between the dictates and laws of reason and the attractions of lust, undergoing the conditionings of biologisms and psychisms, environmental influences and social pressures, the temptations of practical interests and perhaps the manias and the caprices of an incurably childish psychology.

		The interpretations are in each case well-grounded in the original texts and reflect familiarity with a good deal of contemporary English, German and French scholarship on those figures, as well as on the topics of conscience and rhetoric in general.
		Hegel's account of conscience is exemplary for understanding the performative and rhetorical power of language in general, and Hegel's own philosophical argument -- inasmuch as it is a text -- is subject to the same rhetorical interpretation as conscience.
		Her text makes manifest the importance of conscience as an exemplary case of exemplarity, an exemplary case of an enactment that is simultaneously an accomplishment and a loss of itself.

	Christian Magistrate Loses Freedom Of Conscience Case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Mr McClintock was not asking for a change in the law, rather he was requesting that his religious conscience should be accommodated, and that he should be "screened" from cases which might require him to adopt children in to same-sex households.
		Andrew McClintock's case demonstrates what will happen as greater numbers of men and women of integrity (as the court described Mr McClintock) are forced to choose between applying a law which runs contrary to their fundamental Christian belief or obeying their conscience.
		The expert witness in the case, Professor Byrd from the USA, said there was little research into the effect of same-sex nurture on children's development, and that what had been established was worrying.

	The Hindu Business Line : Confusion in the conscience
		His essay addresses two issues: First, "What is conscience?" And, second, "Why should `conscience' deserve special respect or accommodation from society, or from the state?" I touch my conscience to find if I knew it, but there is hardly any response, so I begin to read Smith's work.
		A `minimalist description' of the niggling word is that when we describe an act as being done from `conscience,' we usually mean at least to say that the person in question acted on the basis of a sincere conviction about what is morally required or forbidden, explains Smith.
		In conclusion, Smith postulates that freedom of conscience may depend on "a moral position that assigns pre-eminent value to something like `authenticity,' even over conduct that conforms to objective moral truth." That's one truth against another, one value against another.

		In the particular case, the conscience of the local authority was unaffected, at the time of payment, and at the time of mixing, because the local authority had no knowledge that the swap agreement was void.
		I would suggest, however, that the ratio of Westdeutsche relates to conscience; the categorisation of resulting trusts does not seem to be very well thought out, leads to a number of undesirable consequences, and is not in my view a necessary part of the decision.

		Nevertheless A Case Of Conscience has aged well and, for all its flaws, holds its own with any SF published in the last 50 years.
