Morals And The Evolution Of Man (1922)
Description:... Morals and the Evolution of Man is a book written by Max Simon Nordau and published in 1922. The book explores the connection between human morality and the process of evolution. Nordau argues that human morals have developed over time as a result of natural selection, and that they are therefore a product of evolutionary forces.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of human morality. Nordau examines the role of religion, culture, and social norms in shaping moral behavior, and argues that these factors are all influenced by evolutionary pressures.Nordau also explores the concept of moral relativism, and argues that while moral standards may vary between cultures and societies, there are certain universal principles that are fundamental to human morality. He also discusses the role of empathy and compassion in moral behavior, and how these emotions have evolved over time.Overall, Morals and the Evolution of Man is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between human morality and the process of evolution. It offers a unique perspective on the origins of moral behavior and provides insights into the ways in which our understanding of morality has evolved over time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
