Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of morality, tracing its origins from primitive altruism to more advanced forms of social ethics. The author examines the profound influence of religion on moral codes and the role of supernatural retribution in shaping human conduct. The book provides fascinating insights into the moral evolution of different cultures, including the self-centeredness of Australian aborigines, the willful nature of American Indians, the emotionalism of Africans, and the empiricism of the Chinese. It also delves into the altruistic sentiments of the Peruvians and the severe, yet strangely benevolent, character of Mexican morality. Through a comparative analysis of these diverse cultures, the book reveals the gradual expansion of the moral sphere, from concern for self to concern for others. It argues that morality is not fixed but has evolved over time, influenced by social, religious, and political factors. Ultimately, the book highlights the importance of understanding the historical development of morality for comprehending the complexities of human behavior and the challenges of creating a more just and ethical society.
