Summary "Moralens utveckling" by Ellen Key is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book examines the evolution of morality from a historical and anthropological perspective, addressing the moral progression from primitive societies to more developed ethical frameworks. Key focuses on concepts such as egoism and altruism as fundamental forces driving moral development across different stages of human society. The opening of the text sets the stage for a thorough exploration of morality by contrasting the behaviors of prehistoric humans with those of modern-day 'savages.' Key introduces the idea that both the self-preserving and kin-preserving instincts manifest in complex moral behaviors. The text discusses the biological foundations of memory and learning as they apply to moral development, suggesting that moral concepts arise from the interplay of individual and social needs. Key argues that morality evolves through stages—delineating between animalistic, savage, barbaric, and industrial moralities—illustrating how these stages reflect the changing attitudes towards life, property, and interpersonal relationships.
