In 1873, John Stuart Stuart-Glennie elaborated a theory of ‘the moral revolution’ to characterize the historical shift from roughly 600 BCE in a variety of civilizations, as part of a critical theory of history. This book brings light to the now eclipsed theory and offers new contexts and understandings of the phenomenon.
