Sažetak

This paper is divided into two parts. In the first part the authors interpret the concepts of conscience and authority giving also their historical account for the purpose of a clearer understanding of present definitions of these terms. The second part of the paper turns to the concretization of the correlation between conscience and authority in the moral formation of the individual. The authors clearly show several different kinds of authority that mark human life as well as their relation to the individual. An important emphasis that arises is that the voice of authority can never go above the voice of conscience, which is the voice of God within us. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present the concepts of conscience and authority and to create an insight into the interdependence between these two concepts in the moral formation of the individual.
