La invención del bien y del mal

From the evolution of cooperation five million years ago to the recent crises of moral polarization, The Invention of Good and Evil offers us a new history of human morality in which Ph.D. Hanno Sauer proposes to unite the philosophy to empirical data to explain how processes of biological, cultural, and social change, as well as historical evolution, have contributed to shaping the moral grammar that defines us as human beings. Despite the bewildering variety of cultural expressions that have existed throughout human history, Sauer argues that we have a set of moral values such as freedom, security, pleasure, justice, and benevolence that, Despite being in constant evolution, they are consistent and have been universally reflected in all societies. The author guides us through the most important moral transformations, offers a genealogical perspective that points to the contradictions and potential conflicts of our moral identities and, from an optimistic perspective, expresses the duality of our nature.
