6. Is conscience infused or acquired?

What are the view of Russell and


Butler concerning this problem? Whose contention do you favor? Why?

Russell`s contention a Celebrated British philosopher Claims that


conscience is not a domain of the intellectual faculty of man. In his view,
the “voice of conscience” is neither founded on moral intuitions from
God not on the rational Faculty of man. Conscience, maintains Russell,
covers several different feelings which man acquires from his
experience and childhood training.
Butler`s contention contends further that there are two aspects of
conscience. They are Cognitive Correflective and imperative Cor
anthoriative. All these aspects are regarded by Butler as intellectual
facts. It`s cognitive aspects enables conscience to consider intentions
character and motives with the goal of finding their goodness and
badness.
I favor with contention of Butler because as what conscience reflective
what you do to other`s it will reflect to yourself it see`s someone that
you have a conscience. What you do to others whether it good and bad it
depends on your conscience what important most is at the end of the
day your conscience will be followed.
