Add to basketHow altruism and belief drive the growth of society—and how science reshapes our history.
This non-fiction work surveys the forces behind social evolution, showing how the rise of humane feeling, religious ideas, and practical knowledge have steered civilizations. It connects the Reformation, the spread of education, and the development of modern science to the way communities organize, cooperate, and progress.
Written for readers who want a clear look at why societies change, it blends historical analysis with questions about the role of religion, morality, and rational thought in public life. The author argues that progress comes not from mere cleverness, but from deep shifts in character and shared purpose, shaped by long-term cultural forces.
Ideal for readers of sociology, history, and philosophy who want a cohesive framework for understanding why societies evolve.
