Abstract

The article is about one of the little researched narratological categories, brought into narratology from rhetoric. Against the background of the historically most productive ethos of rest, duty and desire, attention is focused on the ethos of conscience, which has not been previously studied in narratology. Conscience is ﬁrst discovered as an ethos in the narratives of the New Testament. In ﬁction, the ethos of conscience was clearly manifested in the Russian classical novel (especially by Dostoevsky). The ethos of conscience is also found in modern novelism, which does not break with classical traditions.
