Book Overview

The Conscience and Concessions: How May the Individual Become Related to the Many? is a philosophical treatise written by Alfred Williams Anthony and originally published in 1918. The book explores the relationship between the individual and society, and the ways in which individuals can reconcile their personal values and beliefs with the demands of the larger community. Anthony argues that individuals must strive to balance their own conscience with the concessions required by society in order to achieve a meaningful and fulfilling life. Drawing on a range of philosophical and religious traditions, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Taoism, Anthony offers a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of the challenges and opportunities inherent in the relationship between the individual and the collective.
