THE ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE MORAL IDEAS, Vol. 1 of 2 ... (2018 Hardcover)

Description: THE ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE MORAL IDEAS, Vol. 1 of 2 Edward Westermarck (2018 Hardcover) The Origin and Development of the Moral Ideas is a book by the Finnish anthropologist and philosopher Edvard Westermarck, published between 1906 and 1908. This edition is a facsimile reprint of the 1906 original. In the preface Westermarck describes the background to his work. Having concluded that there is a close connection between moral opinions and religious beliefs, he decided to acquire first-hand knowledge of the folklore of a non-European people, and to that end spent four years in Morocco collecting anthropological data, familiarizing himself with the native way of thinking, and gaining an understanding of local customs. He was also indebted to British science and thought. In his introduction, Westermarck asks why different cultures have different moral views. Although a groundbreaking book when it was first published, many of the ideas it contains are now considered antiquated. FREE MEDIA MAIL SHIPPING TO DOMESTIC ADDRESSES!
