Anthropology: A New Scope

The Importance of Conscience

As Bertrand Russell says, "Man has never needed his conscience as crucially as he does today."  That is how necessary conscience is. Let us also quote from Tolstoy: "Whoever claims that human life can be managed merely by means of intelligence and reason has in fact defied the very possibility of life."  

Using the conscience can remove the diversities and differences between humans. The most important factor in harmonizing and uniting the people and classes of a society is the conscience. It is the strongest builder of justice. Conscience can prevent atrocities, oppression, and harness man's desire for fame. It can present man with ideals, which are vital if man is to bring his desires and wishes under control.
