conscience

[U] Không đếm được

This term describes an internal moral compass that generates psychological tension when a person violates their own ethical standards. It operates as a silent judge, creating feelings of remorse or peace depending on the alignment of one's actions with their beliefs. While morality refers to a set of external rules or societal standards, conscience is the personal, subjective application of those rules. It is often personified as a small voice or a weight on the heart, making it a central concept in legal and theological discussions regarding culpability and redemption.

Refers to the abstract psychological faculty of moral judgment which cannot be counted as individual units.
