Morality Made Visible: Edward Westermarck’s Moral and Social Theory: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Morality Made Visible: Edward Westermarck’s Moral and Social Theory" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

While highly respected among evolutionary scholars, the sociologist, anthropologist and philosopher Edward Westermarck is now largely forgotten in the social sciences. This book is the first full study of his moral and social theory, focusing on the key elements of his theory of moral emotions as presented in The Origin and Development of the Moral Ideas and summarised in Ethical Relativity. Examining Westermarcks evolutionary approach to the human mind, the author introduces important new themes to scholarship on Westermarck, including the pivotal role of emotions in human reciprocity, the evolutionary origins of human society, social solidarity, the emergence and maintenance of moral norms and moral responsibility. With attention to Westermarcks debt to David Hume and Adam Smith, whose views on human nature, moral sentiments and sympathy Westermarck combined with Darwinian evolutionary thinking, Morality Made Visible highlights the importance of the theory of sympathy that lies at the heart of Westermarcks work, which proves to be crucial to his understanding of morality and human social life. A rigorous examination of Westermarcks moral and social theory in its intellectual context, this volume connects Westermarcks work on morality to classical sociology, to the history of evolutionism in the social and behavioural sciences, and to the sociological study of morality and emotions, showing him to be the forerunner of modern evolutionary psychology and anthropology. In revealing the lasting value of his work in understanding and explaining a wide range of moral phenomena, it will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology and psychology with interests in social theory, morality and intellectual history.

While highly respected among evolutionary scholars, the sociologist, anthropologist and philosopher Edward Westermarck is now largely forgotten in the social sciences.

Classical and Contemporary Social Theory
Series Editor
Stjepan G. Mestrovic
Texas A&M University, USA
Classical and Contemporary Social Theory publishes rigorous scholarly work that re-discovers the relevance of social theory for contemporary times, demonstrating the enduring importance of theory for modern social issues. The series covers social theory in a broad sense, inviting contributions on both classical and modern theory, thus encompassing sociology, without being confined to a single discipline. As such, work from across the social sciences is welcome, provided that volumes address the social context of particular issues, subjects, or figures and offer new understandings of social reality and the contribution of a theorist or school to our understanding of it.
The series considers significant new appraisals of established thinkers or schools, comparative works or contributions that discuss a particular social issue or phenomenon in relation to the work of specific theorists or theoretical approaches. Contributions are welcome that assess broad strands of thought within certain schools or across the work of a number of thinkers, but always with an eye toward contributing to contemporary understandings of social issues and contexts.

This book is the end result of research which began in the early days of my undergraduate studies. As this long toil is finally drawing to a close, I wish to express my gratitude to those involved. Heikki Sarmaja has been reading my writings for longest, and his comments have been extremely helpful for my work. Many years of ongoing conversations with Antti Lepist have likewise been very valuable for my endeavours. I am very grateful to Petteri Pietikinen and Niina Timosaari for their long-standing support. Erkki Kilpinen in his helpfulness, encouragement and unreserved attention has been of great support throughout my postgraduate career. Pekka Sulkunens understanding of Westermarcks relevance to sociology contributed decisively to the realisation of the study. My partner Hilma Salonens assistance has been irreplaceable both in completing my doctoral thesis and creating this book. Olli Lagerspetz, Camilla Kronqvist, Pertti Ttt and Juhani Ihanus have commented on my work in depth. Many thanks to Miialiila Virtanen, Jouni Ahmajrvi and Julia Dahlberg for much support along the way. An earlier version of was published in Lagerspetz, O., Antfolk, J., Gustafsson, Y & Kronqvist, C.
