A distinction is made between a "mature" or "healthy" conscience - a "conscience capable of maturation"--And the classical notion of the superego; it also postulates that the two may represent two separate lines of development. Conscience is seen to be inseparable from consciousness; the development of a mature conscience is seen to have its foundation in the development of a true or authentic self, while the classical notion of the superego. |
