Conscience: Phenomena and Theories was first published in German in
1925 as a dissertation by Hendrik G. Stoker under the title Das
Gewissen: Erscheinungsformen und Theorien. It was received with
acclaim by philosophers at the time, including Stoker’s
dissertation mentor Max Scheler, Martin Heidegger, and Herbert
Spielberg, as quite possibly the single most comprehensive
philosophical treatment of conscience and as a major contribution
in the phenomenological tradition. Stoker’s study offers a
detailed historical survey of the concept of conscience from
ancient times through the Middle Ages up to more modern thinkers,
including Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Freud, and Cardinal Newman.
Stoker analyzes not only the concept of conscience in academic
theory but also various types of theories of conscience. His work
offers insightful discussions of problems and theories related to
the genesis, reliability, and validity of conscience. In
particular, Stoker analyzes the moral, spiritual, and psychological
phenomena connected with bad conscience, which in turn illuminate
the concept of conscience. The book is deeply informed by the
traditions of western Christianity. Available for the first time in
an accessible English translation, with an introduction by its
translator and editor, Philip E. Blosser, it promises to be of
interest to philosophers, especially in Christian philosophy and
phenomenology, and also to all those interested in moral and
religious psychology, ethics, religion, and theology.
