About This Book

A survey traces the development of moral ideas and practices from kinship-based conscience through ancient Near Eastern, Egyptian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Iranian, Hebrew, Greek, and Roman systems to Christian asceticism, Islam, and later European moral life. It treats ethics as a historical discipline, examining how institutions, religious doctrines, social conditions, and philosophical movements shaped ideals such as filial piety, civic duty, self-realization, loyalty, ascetic self-conquest, and legal obedience. Chapters combine cultural description with analysis of moral evolution and implications for contemporary ethical reflection, aiming to provide a factual foundation for the study of morals.
