""The Origin and Development of the Moral Ideas"" is a two-volume work written by Edward Westermarck, a Finnish philosopher and sociologist. Part 1 of the second volume focuses on the origins and development of moral ideas throughout history. The book explores how moral concepts have evolved over time, from their earliest beginnings in primitive societies to their current form in modern societies. Westermarck examines the role of religion, law, and social customs in shaping moral ideas, and he also explores the influence of individual thinkers and philosophers on the development of moral concepts. The book is a comprehensive study of the evolution of moral ideas and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ethics and morality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
