About This Book

Esitelmäsarja selvittää tapojen syntyä, toimintaa ja säilymistä vertailemalla alkeellisia kulttuurimuotoja ja nykyisiä käytäntöjä; se käsittelee naisen asemaa alhaisemmilla kehitystasolla, vanhempien ja lasten suhteita, lähimmäisvelvollisuuksia, muukalaisen kohtelua, elävien ja kuolleiden välistä suhdetta sekä uskonnon ja magian merkitystä. Teksti selittää tapojen muodostumista matkimisen, hyötykäsitysten, maagisten ja uskonnollisten uskomusten sekä tottumuksen vaikutuksesta, kuvaa niiden pakottavaa sosiaalista voimaa ja seuraamuksia sekä tuo etnografisia esimerkkejä osoittaakseen, miten jäännökset ja instituutiot voivat jatkaa vaikutustaan yhteiskunnassa.

About the Author

Westermarck, Edward portrait

Edward Westermarck

Edward Westermarck was a Finnish philosopher and sociologist, best known for his influential works on marriage and morality. His seminal book, "The History of Human Marriage," explores the cultural and social aspects of marriage across different societies, providing a comprehensive analysis of its evolution. Westermarck's contributions to the study of moral ideas are encapsulated in his work "The Origin and Development of the Moral Ideas," where he examines the roots of ethical concepts. His interdisciplinary approach combined sociology, anthropology, and philosophy, making him a significant figure in the early 20th-century discourse on human relationships and moral philosophy.
