{"product_id":"2940157939335","title":"Our Human Herds: The Philosophy of Dual Morality and a Theory of Moral Evolution","description":"Two hundred years ago if a woman was raped and became pregnant we would kill the rapist and spare the baby. Today, we spare the rapist and kill the baby. One hundred years ago only heterosexual marriage was allowed and people were sentenced to prison for homosexual behavior. Today leaders all over the western world are calling for the legalization and acceptance of homosexual relations and gay-marriage. How, in the course of a few generations, could the moral standards of a society flip so completely? This book explains such changes. In it we will discover the origins of moral outlook itself, and how it shapes all human institutions from forms of government to beliefs about family, art, honor, virginity, atheism, and divinities. We will find out how moral understanding gives rise to liberals and conservatives, communists and fascists; and operates with emotional motivators like pleasure and happiness. It outlines why we create terms like personality and character, and how our thoughts are shaped to ask questions like: \"What is the meaning of life?\" By the time you are done reading this book, you will have concrete answers to all these questions and many more.","brand":"Dog Ear Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157464400112,"sku":"2940157939335","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157939335_p0.jpg?v=1764106670","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157939335","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
