Sažetak
The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the better understanding of conscience and its role in ethical judgment and actions. Conscience is the last resort in the judgment of human actions. It is generally known and accepted that a person is only restrained by his conscience. Precisely for that reason it is necessary to consider what can actually be considered the judgment of conscience. That is especially important nowadays when people frequently forget that conscience is a subjective norm and thus needs to be normalized itself. Since conscience isn't always right, special attention is paid to the forming of conscience by upbringing. The paper is based mainly on the works of Thomas Aquinas, I. Kant and the proponents of situation ethics.
