Excerpt from The Origin and Development of the Moral Ideas, Vol. 1 of 2
The frequent references made in the present work, on my own authority, to customs and ideas prevalent among the natives of Morocco, require a word of explanation. Seeing the close connection between moral opinions and magic and religious beliefs, I thought it might be useful for me to acquire first-hand knowledge of the folk-lore of some non-European people, and for various reasons I chose Morocco as my field of research. During the four years I spent there, largely among its country population, I have not only collected anthropological data, but tried to make myself familiar with the native way of thinking; and I venture to believe that this has helped me to understand various customs occurring at a stage of civilisation different from our own. I purpose before long to publish the detailed results of my studies in a special monograph on the popular religion and magics of the Moors.
For these researches I have derived much material support from the University of Helsingfors. I am also indebted to the Russian Minister at Tangier, M. B. de Bacheracht, for his kindness in helping me on several occasions when I was dependent on the Sultan's Government.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Have you ever wondered why we consider certain actions right and others wrong? This book delves into the fascinating and complex origins of our moral ideas, exploring how concepts like justice, virtue, and duty arose and evolved throughout human history. By examining the psychology of moral emotions and judgments across cultures and time periods, the author sheds light on the surprising role emotions play in shaping our ethical beliefs. Challenging traditional notions of absolute moral truths, this book argues that our sense of right and wrong is ultimately rooted in our emotional responses to the world around us. This thought-provoking exploration of morality invites us to question our own assumptions and biases, ultimately encouraging a more tolerant and nuanced understanding of human behavior.
