Castilian
has gloss	spa: La obligación moral se define como la presión que ejerce la razón sobre la voluntad, enfrente de un valor. Por ello, está lejos de ser una presión originada en la autoridad, o en la sociedad, o en el inconsciente, o en el miedo al castigo. La obligación moral no es la obligación que se siente por la presión externa, ni mucho menos ese tipo de acción psíquica originada por el inconsciente.
