- Annotation: The article describes the most important components of ethical psychology, such as spirituality, conscience, and faith. Ethical psychology combines ethics, the science of morality, and psychology of personality. The basic concepts of ethical psychology are “good” and “evil”. The concepts of good and evil are revealed based on non-religious and religious understanding. Definitions of spirituality, conscience, and faith are given. The importance of considering in psychology not only non-religious, but also religious spirituality is emphasized. The general psychological content of the concepts of “spirituality” and “faith” is shown, as well as their description in a religious context, and the spiritual nature of conscience is noted. The difference between non-religious and religious faith is revealed. It is concluded that the components of ethical psychology – spirituality, conscience and faith – are closely related, reflecting the highest level of human development as a personality, and that spirituality, non-religious and religious, serves as the basis and cements the manifestation of both conscience and faith.
