Synopsis This books deals with the ethical evolution and development of the moral consciousness. The moral relation of the individual to society becomes indirect and conceived of from a totally different point of view from that of the ethics of primitive kinship or tribal society. The book also discusses the evolution of progressive humanity, which is a historical reality from the beginning of civilization in Western Asia and Egypt upto the present time. The earliest phases of man’s social and mental life much depended on mythology, folk-lore of primitive thought and imagination. Now the idea of democracy has formed an essential element in the conception of socialism. The philosophical social thought of Marx and Engels has greatly effected the changes in the super –structure of the society followed by economic revolution. The book also deals with modern feminism, problem of sex and sentiment, problem of alcohol, problem of Britain and the Human race besides the origin of Christianity and modern Catholicism.
