The Whole Works of the Right Rev. Jeremy Taylor, D.D., Lord Bishop of Down, Connor, and Dromore, Vol. 10 of 10: With a Life of the Author, and a Critical Examination of His Writings (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explores the significance of human laws and their power to bind the conscience. The author navigates abstract philosophical arguments and real-world applications to analyze the complex relationship between the obligations we owe to our fellow humans, and those we owe to our own consciences. They consider how our conscience and our duty to obey human laws interact, the validity of laws that stem from unjust sources or have malicious intent, and how our interpretation of the law can impact its culpability. The author examines society's reliance on fear as a motivator for obedience, ethical quandaries in adhering to laws we believe to be unjust, and methods of interpreting ambiguous laws to remain in keeping with our conscience. Throughout, the text maintains a focus on creating an ethical framework for understanding the function and responsibility of human laws and their impact on the individual conscience.
