Authority And The Inner Light

""Authority and the Inner Light"" is a philosophical book written by William Ralph Inge that explores the relationship between authority and individual conscience. In the book, Inge argues that while authority is necessary for maintaining social order and stability, it can also be oppressive and limit individual freedom. He contends that individuals have an inner light, or conscience, that guides them towards what is right and just, and that this inner light should be the ultimate authority. Inge draws upon religious and philosophical traditions to support his arguments, and also examines the role of authority in politics, education, and religion. The book is a thought-provoking examination of the tension between authority and individual autonomy, and offers insights into how individuals can navigate this complex relationship.The Liverpool Lecture 1912.
