Encyclopedia of Morals

by Vergilius Ture Anselm Ferm (Editor)

Thus, the topic contents are indexed. .. such names including Avoriginals of Yirkalla, Bronson Alcott, aquinas, Augustine, Aztecs, Evolutionary Ethics, Goethe, Dostoyevsky, Fetishes, French Existentialism, Hindu Ethics, Pain, Pakot, Oppositions, Primitive Morals... and on and on.... a book full of morals, ethics -- of many cultures, languages and religions.
