This book offers a new perspective on conscience as an as yet
unrealized human potential, but a potential toward which human
beings are naturally driven. A distinction is made between a
"mature" or "healthy" conscience - a "conscience capable of
maturation" - and the classical notion of the superego; it also
postulates that the two may represent two separate lines of
development. Conscience is seen to be inseparable from
consciousness; the development of a mature conscience is seen to
have its foundation in the development of a true or authentic self,
while the classical notion of the superego is viewed as an often
pathological manifestation of this natural mental potential.
Theological ideas are relevant to any discussion of morality,
conscience and guilt. Freud's and Bion's perspectives on religion
are closely examined, revealing fundamental differences in their
views of the mind. The author incorporates the metaphysical
perspective central to Bion's concept of "O" as fundamental to an
understanding of the development of a healthy conscience.
