The Socialized Conscience

By Joseph Herschel Coffin

Book Overview

The Socialized Conscience is a book written by Joseph Herschel Coffin that explores the concept of conscience and how it is shaped by society. Coffin argues that conscience is not an innate moral compass, but rather a product of socialization and cultural norms. He examines various factors that contribute to the formation of conscience, including family, religion, education, and politics. Coffin also discusses the role of conscience in social change and how it can be used to promote justice and equality. Throughout the book, he draws on examples from history and contemporary society to illustrate his points. The Socialized Conscience is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in the intersection of morality, culture, and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
