    '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.

    'A' is for ... Jane Austen (1775-1817)
    (IU Conscience Project, 2023-02) Gaffney, Margaret M.; Galvin, Matthew M.
    Jane Austen (JA), English novelist and astute observer of human conduct and character, lived a quiet and all-too-brief life, producing merely six completed novels, several compositions of ‘Juvenilia,’ many brief historical sketches, and thousands of letters, mostly to her sister who destroyed 2/3 of them before her own death. Nevertheless, the products of JA’s pen remain respected, even beloved, more than 200 years after her death. ... JA is often referred to as a ‘moral’ writer, a writer concerned with how a person achieves or retrieves goodness in life, a focus some consider the very essence of good literature. ... JA’s expertise in character study and moral dilemma resolution shows us how to apply, to ourselves, the same expertise in understanding our personal conscience.

    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.

    D is for ... Eugene Debs
    (IU Conscience Project, 2021) Stillwell, Barbara M.
    Debs never deviated from what he thought was right although his ideas about what was “right” changed with time. Always intense and tenacious. When he and others refused to honor President Cleveland’s orders to break the boycott of the Pullman Palace Company and were sent to the Cook County Jail, Debs said “Having only acted in this matter in obedience to the dictates of our conscience and our judgment, we shall accept with philosophic composure any penalties, however severe, the courts may see fit to impose.”

    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
