Disfunctioneel geweten en morele incompetentie bij psychopaten
More LessAbstract Psychopaths’ Dysfunctional Conscience and their Moral Incompetence1 I develop here a Kantian framework for understanding conscience in order to examine whether moral flaws of psychopaths are traceable to their dysfunctional conscience.

Geweten als ervaring, symbool en concept

Het geweten – een katholiek antropologische verkenning
By Mariéle WulfAbstract Conscience – a catholic anthropological vision In the catholic tradition conscience always played an important role as visible in the ‘clausula Petri’ (Ac 5,30-33) or in Paul’s belief in its wisdom (Rm 2,14-16). Conscience can break rules (‘epikeia’), but should not stand up against the church as such. Luther’s historical deed left behind a distrust in conscience in the Catholic Church; it took 400 years to restore Paul’s visi Read More
