Synopsis
Excerpt from La Conscience: Ou la Règle des Actions Humaines
Mais cette conclusion n'est pas la seule que nous ayons tirée. Nous en avons déduit une autre non moins importante, non moins rigoureuse, c'est que, si cette morale est la vraie, elle ne doit pas rester l'objet d'une admiration stérile, mais devenir au contraire la règle pratique de notre vie; nous sommes tenus de la réaliser, nous y sommes engagés par la rigueur même de notre raison, par la conviction de notre esprit. Et cette con séquence, je n'en ai point fait mystère, c'était elle que j'avais surtout en vue, que je poursuivais de tous mes efi'onts. En fait de morale, la théorie est peu de chose si elle n'aboutit à l'application. Mieux vaut un système moins parfait, mais pratiqué et appliqué, qu'une doctrine plus excellente, qui reste Spéculative et infé eonde. Mon but, en rehaussant la morale chrétienne.

Ultimately, the author examines the nature of human acts and their consequences, including the concepts of merit, demerit, responsibility, and the ultimate rewards and punishments that result from the choices we make.
