Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of moral consciousness research and its components; a brief review of scientific research on this phenomenon. The article presents the scientists views in various fields, including philosophy, ethics and psychology on the components of moral consciousness and their content in its functioning. Moral consciousness is considered to be a regulator of behavior, which reflects the attitude of the individual to himself, others and generally accepted norms. Considerable attention in the content of the article is paid to clarifying the content structure of moral consciousness and explaining its components. Based on the analysis of scientific sources, we have created a theoretical model of moral consciousness, which reflects the author's vision of this phenomenon. The author singles out four components of moral consciousness: regulatory, personal, social and attitude, which allow a more detailed study of moral consciousness. The expediency of isolating each components and their components is substantiated. In general, the presented model provides an opportunity to expand the aspects of the moral consciousness study as a regulator of behavior in the future. Among the prospects for further explorations, we have outlined the typology of moral consciousness and the type profiles specification
