    'A' is for ... Aesara of Lucania
    (IU Conscience Project, 2021) Gramelspacher, Mary Lou; Gaffney, Margaret M.; Galvin, Matthew R.
    Aesara of Lucana was an ancient philosopher and forerunner of moral psychology who flourished sometime between three hundred and one hundred Before the Common Era (BCE). Historians of philosophy classify Aesara of Lucania among the Late Pythagoreans (425 BCE and possibly as late as circa 100 CE), along with Phintys of Sparta and Perictione I (Waithe and Harper, 1987).

    'A' is for ... Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)
    (IU Conscience Project, 2024) Gramelspacher, Mary Lou; Gaffney, Margaret M.; Galvin, Matthew R.
    In her life Arendt retained a deep, non-dogmatic, personal faith, but she also believed, Verkamp informs us further, that “the injection of religious passion into political life would likely pervert both religion and politics into detestable exercises in ideological fanaticism.” In emerging adulthood, she attended lectures in Christian theology and was introduced to the work of Søren Kierkegaard. Her pursuit of knowledge may have begun with theology but soon led her into philosophy as well.

    The Conscience Celebration: A Story About Moral Flourishing
    (IU Conscience Project, 1999) Galvin, Matthew R.; Stilwell, Barbara M.
    This is a serialized book with a new episode appearing approximately every two months. Neither morally didactic (i.e. it is not a book of virtues); nor a "How To" book about moral reasoning with Kohlbergian dilemmas; nor a workbook on values clarification. This book is intended to be informative to children about what they and their peers are experiencing, in common and diverse experiences, as their consciences develop. It is a secular, psychoeducational book about conscience development and functioning. As such, it provides tools to discuss moral development the way educational videos assist teacher, parent and child with discussion of sexual development and sexuality.

    Doubtless You Know ... A Children's Book Adaptation of an Original Poem
    (Indiana Association for Infant and Toddler Mental Health, 2015) Galvin, Matthew R.; Tomlin, A.; McKnight, R.; Zielke, D.; Galvin, Deborah C.
    Doubtless You Know tells the story of guanacos, animals who live in the mountains of Chile, a hot, high and dry land where there is little water. We hear their story of surviving and thriving as they share it with a young girl who takes the time to listen. The tale provides many chances to explore concepts that are important to our work with babies and their caregivers from an infant mental health perspective. As you experience the story, you may discover ideas that include the importance of considering multiple perspectives through observing and listening, the idea that we can all help no matter how small, that different kinds of knowing are useful, and that things are very often not as they first seem! We are sure that many of you will find other meanings as you reflect on the story from your own personal perspective

    An Encyclopedia of Conscience: Introduction
    (IU Conscience Project, 2021) Galvin, Matthew R.; Gaffney, Margaret M.
    Since 2001, our Conscience Project meetings have regularly included lively discussions and applications of the conceptual framework of conscience theory - stages, domains and bedrock/intrinsic values – to the ideas we are studying in ethics, neuroscience, education, philosophy, psychology and theology. Early on, Dr. Barbara Stilwell compiled an alphabetical list of authors who may or may not have been explicit about conscience, but who deeply influenced our theory of conscience as it evolved, and recently, we have begun to apply the same conscience-sensitive approaches to character/author analyses in the histories, biographies, and other literature, fact and fiction, we are reading. We are excited to see how these unique conscience-sensitive approaches can enrich our own writing and teaching in humanistic medicine, general humanities, and specifically, moral education. The brief entries in this Encyclopedia of Conscience are not meant to be full biographies, but rather to provide an imaginative sketch of the form and function of each subject’s conscience. We welcome ideas and additions.

    'I' is for ... an Islamic perspective on conscience
    (IU Conscience Project, 2021) Sullivan, John; Galvin, Matthew R.
    There has been extensive use of the modern Arabic word damir for the English word conscience. An invitation is made to discernment of intentional use of the word damir in this way, by some authors, to emphasize interfaith experience and establish a uniting linguistic bond between people of different religious belongings. After due consideration of damir, we proceed to a fully Islamic perspective on conscience by examining material from four sources: the Qur’an, Traditions of the Prophet and Islamic scholarship past and present. Highlighted in the latter canon are writings from giants of antiquity such as Ibn al-`Arabi and al-Ghazali. Ghazali’s Anatomy of the Soul also known as ‘the family of internal aspects’ will be seen as the foundation of Islamic moral psychology and psychopathology. Specific intersections of Islamic aspects of conscience with the several domains of conscience as explicated by the Indiana University Conscience Project can be discerned while preserving the integrity of their divergences.
