The origin and development of the moral ideas
Edward Westermarck
Six hundred thousand words on why cultures praise and blame: Westermarck's monumental study surveys moral ideas across every society his era's anthropology could reach. Marriage customs, punishment, hospitality, honor, all traced to their emotional roots in resentment and approval. One of the great comparative works ever assembled on morality. An ocean; dive accordingly.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
