- This monograph uniquely focuses on conscience in the British Enlightenment, challenging current understandings of ‘reason’ and ‘conscience’, and the Enlightenment itself. As testified by endorsements from leading experts in moral philosophy, moral theology, early modern history, intellectual history, science and religion, philosophy of religion, it represents interdisciplinary research on 'reason' and 'conscience' within ancient, medieval, early modern, and modern theology, philosophy, politics, literature, and science, ranging from the New Testament and Cicero to Darwin and the UN Declaration of Human Rights. It represents at least seven years of work (4 for the DPhil and 3 to develop into a monograph).
