Publishing Date: 2000-10-01
Features: This book includes seven chapters: the origin and essence of morality; the ideal of human beauty in the Renaissance; love and marriage; church morality; prostitution; public entertainment; and sexual perversions. A History of Ancient Greek Morality, A History of Ancient Roman Morality, and the three-volume Illustrated History of European Morality are renowned cultural history classics in academia. Although written by different authors in different eras, these three works are considered sister volumes in terms of content continuity. Here, "morality" broadly refers to what Mencius called "food and sex, the nature of man." The book provides a solid and meticulous discussion on this inescapable human issue, arriving at unique conclusions. It offers a new perspective for observing the history of human civilization, from which we can trace the clear footprints of human cultural progress.
