Moral Consciousness: An Influence on Understanding of World Politics?

Abstract: An 8 page consideration of whether or moral consciousness imparts a better understanding of world politics. Contends that moral consciousness has distinct phases of development. In the early stages of this development it can be argued that it is shaped by those very factors of which we perceive it as standing in judgment. It can be argued in fact that during these early developmental phases, our understanding, and approval or disapproval, of world politics has more to do with those that are in control than it is any independent characteristic that an individual might possess. It is only when our moral consciousness has reached its full potential, therefore, that we can truly understand world politics and stand in judgment of those politics. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
