My contribution sheds light on how technologies of quantification molded notions of personal responsibility and character within an emerging utilitarian context. I situate Naville\u2019s use of these tools within his work as a pastor in a parish of the (then occupied) Republic of Geneva and within the Genevese and Swiss pedagogical reform movement of the early nineteenth century. I provide a detailed examination of how Naville used and adapted Franklin\u2019s and Jullien\u2019s tools of moral accounting for his own moral and religious purposes. Time, God\u2019s most precious gift to man, served Naville as the ultimate measure of his moral worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1177\/0073275319876851\">Link<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To cite this article: Maas, H.
