Drawing on philosophical insights and empirical data, German philosopher Hanno Sauer (b. 1983) explains how processes of biological, cultural, social, and historical evolution have shaped modern moral grammar. The seven chapters of The Invention of Good and Evil (2023) describe the most important moral shifts in human history and explain the connections between the cooperation of Australopithecines, the emergence of the first civilizations 5,000 years ago, and the dynamics of moral progress over the past fifty years. A genealogical perspective, on the one hand, allows us to see the contradictions and potential conflicts of our morality, and on the other, it clearly shows that we share fundamental values that apply to all people at all times.
