Human Values from the Greeks to Modern Times: A Continuing Circle pdf epub mobi txt 电子书下载 2025

☆☆☆☆☆

Why is it that man exercises responsibility and restraint, along with respect and aid for his fellow man? Insights derived from social and political histories provide this book's foundation. To move beyond human experience to discover new human possibilities is the challenge this book undertakes.

We know that genes and culture are the methods for transmitting behavioral patterns conducive to human survival. Throughout history humankind has held highest those values that have led to a shared need for community, conflict reduction and the preservation of the group over an individual's well-being. This book reflects on when and where these values were codified by families, tribes, ethnic groups, and in cultural traditions.

How did these human values develop? Were they inherent in our being? Were they selected to insure human survival? For those interested in understanding the foundations for their own belief system this book provides thought provoking answers to these questions.
