This work aims to explore the moral dimensions of human history, emphasizing how ethical ideals evolve over time and how they are shaped by various social, political, and religious influences. It seeks to provide insights into the history of morals as a crucial aspect of understanding human civilization. The opening of the book introduces the concept of the historian's role in understanding moral progress, positing that the essence of historical evolution lies in moral development. Myers emphasizes that morality is a driving force behind historical movements and that the study of ethical progress is essential for grasping the full narrative of human history. He discusses different interpretations of history and argues against the reduction of historical study to politics, economics, or intellect, advocating instead for the recognition of morality as the central theme. The text sets the stage for a deeper exploration of moral ideas and their transformations across different cultures and epochs, ultimately aspiring to show how collective morality expands from kinship groups to encompass the whole of humanity.
