Tech Support (Parent and Student Access)/Typos: CM Volumes and Parents' Review Errors on AO Website
Yesterday, 02:03 AM
Hi all, I believe I found an error in Home Education on the website. It's in the paragraph that runs from page 334-335, and I've typed the missing text here in brackets:
The Processes implied in a 'Conscientious' Decision.––Therefore, it is plain that before conscience is in a position to pronounce its verdict on the facts of a given case, the cultivated reason must review the pros and cons; the practiced judgment must balance these, deciding which have the greater weight. Attention must bring all the powers of the mind to bear on the question; habits of right action must carry the feelings, must make right-doing seem the easier and the pleasanter. In the meantime, desire is clamorous; but conscience, the unbiased judge, duly informed in full court of the merits of the case, decides for the right. The will carries out the verdict of conscience; [[and the man whose conduct is uniformly moulded]] upon the verdicts of conscience is the conscientious man, of whose actions and opinions you may be sure beforehand[[. But life is not long enough for such lengthy process: a thousand things have to be decided off-hand]], and then what becomes of these elaborate proceedings? That is just the advantage of an instructed conscience backed by a trained intelligence; the judge is always sitting, the counsel always on the spot.
--HE 334-335
There seem to be two small missing segments. The omissions are both on page 335. Here is a photograph of my book for reference.
