Este estudo analisa a especificidade do conceito de Consciência Moral em Newman,
no âmbito da sua reflexão filosófica acerca do assentimento à fé religiosa.
A dissertação está estruturada da seguinte forma: depois de um capítulo introdutório
acerca da Consciência Moral, segue-se um resumo de An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of
Assent, a obra de referência deste estudo, realçando os aspectos mais relevantes para o
tema em análise. No Capítulo 3 são analisadas as influências filosóficas mais importantes
em Newman. O Capítulo 4 é propriamente o âmago da dissertação no qual são expostas as
especificidades do pensamento de Newman acerca da Consciência Moral na relação com a

ideias expostas e demonstradas ao longo do Capítulo 4, nomeadamente a relação da
concepção escolástica de Consciência Moral com a concepção própria de Newman, bem
como a sua correlação com a Verdade.
