Abstract

[A theory of moral systems and moral evolutionary change is presented. Durkheimian concepts are modified so as to divert attention away from religious practices per se and to refocus analysis on the underlying moral system. A cosmology, metaphysic, and moral code are identified as components of a moral system, after which a theory of moral change is described and summarized in six propositions.]
