This conference will examine the authority of the conscience as it is presently invoked in various arenas of contemporary life—including law, medicine, journalism, politics, and the arts—and as its meaning is inflected by scholarly debates in the fields of history, literature, religious studies, psychology, and philosophy.  Among the many questions raised by this topic, the most fundamental is “what is, what was, conscience, and what is its future”?
