Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origins of moral judgements, arguing that they stem from custom and kindred forces, rather than existing independently of human interaction. The author challenges the prevailing notion that customs inherently shape morality, suggesting instead that they influence it to a limited extent. Drawing on a study of moral judgments of university students, the author presents evidence that suggests the existence of universal moral standards that transcend cultural norms. The book explores the relationship between custom and morality, challenging the conventional wisdom that custom is the sole source of moral values. It argues that morality is more complex and multifaceted, with a rich tapestry of influences that shape its development. The author presents a nuanced understanding of the role of custom in morality, acknowledging its influence while also highlighting the limitations of its power.
