The Significance of Fear in Moral Action

Valentin Pozaić ; Filozofsko-teološki institut Družbe Isusove u Zagrebu, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Sažetak

Fear is an important factor in moral decision making and action. Fear can arouse hidden energies, but can also impose limits upon cognition and free choice. It can break down the homogeneity between conviction and action, leading to interior conflict. Analyzing types of fear according to origin and severity, it is possible to discern certain principles for use in the correct moral evaluation of human endeavor. The cultivation of a conscience embodying authentic ideals and values is the path toward calm, bold and morally responsible action.
