Abstract:
The aim of this essay is to demonstrate three main points: (1) that many of the widespread appeals made to conscience in the time of COVID display little understanding of conscience’s fundamental nature; (2) that they assume for conscience a sacrosanct status it does not possess; and (3) that because of the first two points, conversation regarding conscience and COVID has generated considerable confusion. In support of these points, this paper (1) shows what conscience is, (2) employs St. John of the Cross’s examination of attachments to suggest that possession of a well-formed conscience is frequently a most difficult achievement, and (3) examines various expressions associated with the COVID debate to illustrate how much of the conversation has stemmed from or resulted in little real understanding.

Abstract:
The modern conception of a ‘secular conscience’ is at one time, both paradoxical and reductive. This phenomenon is attributable to two main factors. In the formal sense, the problem stems from a facile or partial invocation of the term, a result of the fragmentation of its multiple referents. In a substantive sense, the loss of conscience’s explanatory power is a direct result of removing moral structures that underpin traditional formulations of the concept. Historically, conscience has been a necessary component of moral epistemologies. As the innate mechanism for moral discernment, conscience existed as a core part of practical reasoning. In this backdrop, one of secularism’s most profound implications has been to shift conscience’s emphasis away from notions of ‘higher responsibility’ to ‘individual authenticity’. To make sense of this shift, the present article begins by considering the process of ‘secularisation’. Harold Berman defines ‘secularisation’ as the steady displacement of existing normative foundations. The article goes on to trace the etymological development of conscience as a concept and its historical link to moral agency. An examination of traditional normative structures follows, as represented by two seminal accounts of conscience in Western natural law tradition, namely those of Thomas Aquinas and John Calvin. Notwithstanding the variations in emphases due to denominational differences, both these natural law accounts offer a coherent normative outlook, adequate to sustain an integrated concept of conscience. The article ultimately seeks to critique the explanatory potential of modern accounts of conscience by exposing the ontological predicates of secular-rational modalities from the natural law perspective.

Abstract:
On Rachunek sumienia jako zadanie tłumacza [Examination of Conscience as a Translator’s Task] by Krystyna Pisarkowa
 The author of the article tries to reconstruct the way in which Krystyna Pisarkowa perceived confession and examination of conscience. Pisarkowa discussed those forms of confessing one’s sins in a series of lectures, in an article of 2002, and in a book published two years after her death. The main message of these works is the connection between the examination of conscience and translation according to the approach of Walter Benjamin. In the opinion of Pisarkowa, examination of conscience is a complex act of thought and internal speech that needs to be translated into a natural language. Also, Pisarkowa takes into account the second dimension of updating the examination of conscience, which is related to functioning of a certain genre in religious discourse. She provides some examples of old Polish confessions and she analyses them in terms of textology, which deserves our special attention.

Abstract:
I use the body to investigate the ideas of morality, mourning and mortification. I look towards costume history, traditional Catholic rituals and themes in 19th century literature to feed my obsession with transformation, reconciliation and communication through dress. My making focuses on feminine objects and materials. Lace, veils, undergarments and hair adornment speak not only of womanhood, but also of the duality of human nature. Lace speaks of purity and sexuality, it reveals and conceals, it is humble, yet gluttonous in its ornamental overindulgence; lace is the ultimate dichotomy. I use it as a potent symbol to represent the duality of body and soul, right and wrong, good and evil. Historically, neglected, disheveled and unbound hair was a sign of mourning and penance, a physical representation of one's sin and sorrow. In my work, hair comes to represent an uncomfortable binding of one's self to one's alter ego, while helping to serve as an act of penance and mortification. As I make, my hands hopelessly yearn to create beauty from burdens; the repetitive and penitential process of stitching creates a metaphor for my longing towards perfection and purification. My use of video, photography and installation work to provide a unique experience for the viewer, for here they are invited to enter these imaginary worlds of wonder.

Abstract:
This thesis uses a philosophical discussion to explore the tensions that result in the meeting between universal claims and particular contexts regarding human rights and how these tensions can be mediated by exploring the right to religious freedom. In order to do this, two approaches will be studied, one liberal and one postcolonial, represented by Martha Nussbaum and Saba Mahmood respectively. In comparing the approaches of Nussbaum and Mahmood, their arguments and positions become clearer, but also the nuances of the debate between universalism and contextualism. The right to religious freedom, with its many tensions between theory and practice, has been useful in exploring what values are at stake when we talk about human rights in general and how we can think about the apparent tension between universalism and contextual sensitivity. The thesis thus shows that there are more similarities between these two approaches than it may first seem and that they are not incompatible. This is argued to provide insight into possible ways of mediating human rights between theory and practice.<br>Denna uppsats utgår från en filosofisk diskussion kring spänningen mellan universella anspråk och specifika sammanhang när det kommer till mänskliga rättigheter och hur dessa spänningar kan medlas utifrån en undersökning av religionsfriheten. För att åstadkomma studeras två inriktningar, den ena liberal och den andra postkolonial. Dessa inriktningar representeras av Martha Nussbaum respektive Saba Mahmood. I och med en jämförande analys mellan dessa två inriktningar är förhoppningen att deras likheter och skillnader blir tydligare, samt att nyanserna inom debatten mellan universalism och kontextualism blir tydligare. Det finns många spänningar mellan teori och praktik när det kommer till rätten till religionsfrihet och just denna rättighet är på så sätt användbar för att utforska spänningen mellan universalism och kontextualism när det kommer till mänskliga rättigheter. Denna uppsats visar därmed att det finns flera likheter mellan dessa inriktningar och att de därför inte kan anses vara oförenliga med varandra. Detta för med sig en insikt i möjligheter till att medla mänskliga rättigheter mellan teori och praktik.

Abstract:
La Gaule de la première moitié du Ve siècle, en proie aux invasions barbares, a été le lieu d’une floraison poétique bien particulière. À cette époque, plusieurs poèmes, marqués par les troubles de l’actualité, emploient les anciennes formes de la poésie légère pour traiter de la conversion ascétique de diverses manières. Parmi ces « examens de conscience », nous reprenons l’appellation de J. Fontaine, l’on trouve le poème d’Orientius, connu sous le titre générique de commonitorium. Ce poème de 1036 vers, rédigé en distiques élégiaques, est un protreptique à la vie de conuersus, qui invite spécifiquement à la fuite des vices. Son enjeu est tout à la fois l’exhortation à la conversion ascétique et la christianisation de l’héritage élégiaque. Cette étude propose une nouvelle édition du poème, accompagnée d’une traduction française et d’un commentaire, et précédée d’une introduction qui évalue à nouveaux frais notamment les questions d’attribution, de structure et de finalité du poème<br>While struggling with barbarian invasions, first half of 5th century Gaul saw the blossom of a specific poetic trend. Then, some writers used the antique forms of light poetry to handle the subject of ascetic conversion in different ways, as they created a literary production shaped by the difficulties of their time. Among these « examinations of conscience », as J. Fontaine called them, there is the poem of Orientius, known nowadays under the generic title of commonitorium. Written in elegiac couplet, this 1036-line poem stands as a protreptic to a conuersus’s life, which calls specifically to run away from vices. It aims at both exhorting the reader to ascetic conversion, and christianizing elegiac inheritance. This study contains a new critical edition of the poem, with a French translation, a commentary and an introduction, reevaluating various issues, namely that of attribution, structure and goals of the poem

Définie à l’origine comme l’aptitude à la sanction, la capacité pénale peut s’entendre plus largement comme résumant l’ensemble des aptitudes subjectives, c’est-à-dire propres au délinquant, indispensables à l’engagement et à la sanction de sa responsabilité pénale. Ces aptitudes sont de deux ordres. L’aptitude à l’infraction et l’aptitude à l’imputation de cette infraction conditionnent le jugement de responsabilité et contribuent à en assurer la dimension morale.

Abstract:
This chapter offers a broad overview of the history of religious liberty in France from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. Early in this period philosophers such as Montaigne, Bayle, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Constant moved from an understanding of religious liberty as a collective right designed to protect minority religious communities to an increased sensitivity to the right of individuals to make personal religious choices. The chapter situates Article Ten of the Declaration of the Rights of Man (1789), which established religious liberty as a fundamental right, within this historical context. It concludes with an examination of the political theory and constitutional structures of Restoration France that created the space for individuals to realize the right announced in Article Ten.

Abstract:
The Examination of Conscience on the Duties of Kingship (c. 1709–1711) is one of Fénelon’s most important contributions to political theory. Prior to receiving the sacrament of penance, Catholics have been traditionally expected to make an examination of conscience. Here Fénelon uses this genre to present the mature Duke of Burgundy with a probing inquiry into the psychology of political rule and the ways in which a ruler can transcend his pride to work for the well-being of the people he serves. The text is especially noteworthy for its conclusion, which sets forth what has been seen by some of the most prominent experts in international relations as the first modern articulation of balance-of-power theory.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the case of the Protestant Gymnasium in Toruń at the turn of the seventeenth century and this is illustrated through the work of Franz Tidike. It describes Tidike as an eclectic figure of physician and philosopher that shifted the teaching of ethics in a moralistic direction. It also refers to the notion of consciousness that emerged as pivotal in an atmosphere of intense competition with the Jesuits, and in search of continuity with the Erasmian and Melanchthonian intellectual and religious legacy. The chapter analyzes progress towards maturity that was entrusted to constant meditation on texts dealing with moral improvement by classical and Christian writers, which made the learning of ethics a daily exercise of self-analysis and self-control. It recounts the dissipation of homogeneity and traditionalism by an examination of the academic practices implemented on the basis of the Aristotelian texts in the individual schools of the Kingdom of Poland.

Abstract Chapter 6 argues that a comprehensive examination of dialectal and provenance evidence shows that most Middle English manuscripts were made in relative proximity to their first owners. The chapter begins by considering dialectal evidence of multi-scribe manuscripts of The Canterbury Tales, the English works of Richard Rolle, Speculum vitae, The Prick of Conscience, and Piers Plowman. When scribes collaborate, dialectal evidence shows that they tend to come from the same region as one another. The chapter then considers provenance evidence from the same group of manuscripts, arguing that, when such evidence survives, it most often points to the same region as the manuscript’s dialect.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter’s authors seek to contribute to the method and approach for understanding extreme forms of otherness—the perpetrators of atrocity crimes. The actions of perpetrators are so severe and devastating that they are often viewed as abhorrent—morally scarred or biologically susceptible to extreme violence. Is it possible to understand those who engage in mass violence, and, if so, by what means? As a starting point, the authors examine Gitta Sereny’s (1974/1983) Into that Darkness: An Examination of Conscience, which encompassed more than 70 hours of interviews with Franz Stangl, former Commandant of the Treblinka extermination camp, and interviews with many others. The authors analyze Sereny’s stance in the double hermeneutic and the complications of the position of interpreter in relation to the other who is interpreted in an effort to understand Stangl’s participation in the Shoah and his reflections on his actions. Sereny practices a hermeneutics of suspicion, seeking to get past the superficial to “penetrate the personality” and discover his authentic conscience. The authors ask if it is really possible to get to the truth of Stangl’s motivations that lay behind his words without contorting his testimony. Ultimately, they suggest an alternative reading to the text, one based on a hermeneutics of faithfulness that does not distort Stangl’s words but rather contextualizes them in the cultural models for moral agency and action of his time.

Abstract Even as Machen was fighting desperately to preserve the “old Princeton” in the spring of 1929, he was gearing up for combat with Robert E. Speer, senior secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, over the orthodoxy of the board. Machen had long held suspicions about the faithfulness of many missionaries sent out by the board but, at least until the middle of the 1920s, had been able to support this enterprise. In a 1925 letter he allowed, “It is not now contrary to my conscience to give to our Foreign Board, though I cannot say that I give with much enthusiasm.” By 1929 his distrust of the board and of Speer had intensified to such a degree that he composed an essay entitled, “Can Evangelical Christians Support Our Foreign Board?” and sent it to Speer for his examination and comment.

Abstract:
Introduction: We present a case of a patient with atypical manifestations of Erdheim-Chester Disease. We aim to describe the neurological manifestations of Erdheim-Chester disease and the main radiologic findings in magnetic resonance imaging. We carried out a literature review in the PubMed and SciELO electronic library databases. Case: 71-year-old men presented with memory loss, inattention and apathy, developed in the last month. Within the symptoms onset, he had ictal episodes of transient loss of conscience, oromastigatory automatisms and right gaze deviation, with daily recurrence. Physical examination revealed disorientation, right hemiparesis and ideomotor dyspraxia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed subdural laminar collections on the left hemisphere, with focus of restricted diffusion, thickening of the pachymeninges and also a nodular lesion in the left posterior corona radiata, with granulomatous aspect. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed lynphomonocytic pleocytosis (26 cels) and high protein (229 mg/dL). A meningeal biopsy was performed and the anatomopathological examination showed lymphoplasmocytic and histiocytic infiltrate with xanthomized histiocytes, positive for CD68, negative for CD1a and Protein S-100. At this point, we made a diagnosis of Erdheim-Chester disease. Discussion: Erdheim-Chester disease is a non-Langerhans histiocytosis with diverse clinical manifestations. Neurological symptoms include headache, motor deficit, ataxia, encephalopathy and seizures. Radiologic features are heterogeneous, including tumoral, vascular and pseudodegenerative presentations, as well as pachymeningitis and subdural collections. Conclusion: Erdheim Chester disease has multiple neurological presentations and must be considered as a differential diagnosis in the setting of pachymeningitis and granulomatous solid lesions.

Abstract:
Introduction: Vascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Although major advances in neuroimaging and stroke treatment have contributed to a decrease in mortality, strokes occupy second place in the list. Case report: A 75-year-old man is admitted to emergency with an altered neurological examination: right hemiplegia, Broca’s aphasia and dysphagia. Conscience was preserved. Computed tomography (CT) was performed, which showed the radiological finding of hyperdense MCA sign, confirming the diagnosis of ischemic stroke with involvement of the left middle cerebral artery branch. The treatment, in this case, was outside the criteria for thrombolytics. Discussion: Irrigation of the brain is done by Willis polygon. One of the essential branches is the medium cerebral artery (MCA), the most important termination of the internal carotid arteries, responsible for blood supply of the dorsolateral hemifacial of both cerebral hemispheres, irrigating the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes. The imaging exam in suspected cases of stroke focuses on confirming its diagnosis and etiology, location of the lesion, extent of ischemic evolution, therapeutic treatment and prognosis. CT is the main modality of neuroimaging for stroke and an important radiological finding is the hyperdense artery sign, which is more common in MCA and demonstrates an evolving or impending infarction and is secondary to a plunger housed in this vessel. Therefore, it is an important early tomographic sign of ischemic stroke found on non-contrast blood CT. Conclusion: Ischemic stroke is the most common etiology among strokes. The diagnosis must be based mainly on anamnesis and image exam, such as a CT scan. The CT performed helps to guide treatment, prognosis and clinical evolution. Finally, the recognition of the hyperdense MCA sign, found in the first 6 hours, is also extremely helpful for stroke classification.
