The Origin and Evolution of Ethics asks a big question: are moral laws a gift from the gods or a product of human experience and evolution? This examination surveys ideas from ancient sages to modern thinkers, tracing how concepts of right and wrong have developed across time.
This concise, thought-provoking volume opens with a survey of early moral codes in Egypt and Mesopotamia, then moves to foundational figures like Socrates and Huthe with clear, practical explanations. It considers how ideas about happiness, duty, and social good arise, endure, or change as societies evolve.
