The article explores the concept of conscience from psychological and philosophical perspectives. It defines conscience as the sense of right and wrong that governs a person's thoughts and actions, and as the part of the superego that judges the ethical nature of one's actions and thoughts. Philosophically, conscience is seen as the regulation of one's actions in conformity with an individual's sense of right and wrong. The piece argues that while conscience is natural in humans, a depraved person might suppress it, and it discusses how falsehood can obscure its guidance.
