History of Western Morals

By Crane Brinton.

Hailed by The New York Times as "tantalizing" and "learned," A History of Western Morals brings together an impressive range of knowledge of Western civilization. From the ancient cultures of the Near East, through the Ancient Greek and Roman worlds, to the Middle Ages, the Reformation, the Renaissance, the Age of Reason and the twentieth century, Crane Brinton searches human history for the meaning of ethics. A History of Western Morals raises controversial conclusions about the value of religion in society, the practices of sex, the nature of crime and the possibility of progress.

History of European Morals From Augustus to Charlemagne. Volume 2.

By W. E. H. Lecky.

This is the second volume of Lecky’s huge works on the history of morals in Western Civilization. It’s a bit of a surprise that it took two volumes to do it. Looking back from the 21st century, one doubts that the West had enough morals to fill even one volume. This volume contains: Chapter IV. From Constantine To Charlemagne. Chapter V. The Position Of Women. Perhaps we can conclude from these contents that were is no place for men in the history of morals.
