覚え方

「sense of moral obligation」は「道徳的責任感」と訳すが、個人の倫理観に基づく内面的な感覚を指す。法律や社会規範による「義務」とは異なり、自発的な気持ちを表す。

ゴールデンルール

使い分け

「sense of moral obligation」は自発的な責任感を強調するため、法律や命令による義務とは区別される。例えば、「税金を払う義務」は法律による義務だが、「困っている人を助ける道徳的責任感」は自発的な感覚を指す。

語源

The phrase combines 'sense' (from Latin 'sensus', meaning 'feeling'), 'moral' (from Latin 'moralis', relating to customs or manners), and 'obligation' (from Latin 'obligatio', meaning 'binding'). The concept has roots in philosophical discussions about ethics and duty.

使用上の注意

This phrase is often used in discussions about ethics, law, and personal integrity. It implies an internalized feeling of responsibility rather than an external requirement.
