520			$a"Morality is not declining in the modern world. Instead, anew morality is replacing the previous one. Centered onindividual self-fulfillment, and linked to administrativegovernment, it permits things the old morality forbid,like sex for pleasure, but forbids things the old moralityallowed, like intolerance and equality of opportunity"--$cProvided by publisher.
520			$a"Political and social commentators regularly bemoan the decline of morality in the modern world. They claim thatthe norms and values that held society together in thepast are rapidly eroding, to be replaced by permissivenessand empty hedonism. But as Edward Rubin demonstrates inthis powerful account of moral transformations, theseprophets of doom are missing the point. Morality is notdiminishing; instead, a new morality, centered on an ethosof human self-fulfillment, is arising to replace the oldone. As Rubin explains, changes in morality have gone handin hand with changes in the prevailing mode of governancethroughout the course of Western history. During the EarlyMiddle Ages, a moral system based on honor graduallydeveloped. In a dangerous world where state power wasdeclining, people relied on bonds of personal loyalty thatwere secured by generosity to their followers and violenceagainst their enemies. That moral order, exemplified inthe early feudal system and in sagas like The Song ofRoland, The Song of the Cid, and the Arthurian legends hasfaded, but its remnants exist today in criminalorganizations like the Mafia and in the rap music of theurban ghettos. When state power began to revive in theHigh Middle Ages through the efforts of the Europeanmonarchies, and Christianity became more institutionallyeffective and more spiritually intense, a new moralityemerged. Described by Rubin as the morality of higherpurposes, it demanded that people devote their personalefforts to achieving salvation and their social efforts toserving the emerging nation-states. It insisted on socialhierarchy, confined women to subordinate roles, restrictedsex to procreation, centered child-rearing on moralinculcation, and countenanced slavery and the marriage ofpre-teenage girls to older men. Our modern era, whichbegan in the late 18th century, has seen the gradualerosion of this morality of higher purposes and the riseof a new morality of self-fulfillment, one that encouragesindividuals to pursue the most meaningful and rewardinglife-path. Far from being permissive or a moral abdication,it demands that people respect each other's choices, thatsex be mutually enjoyable, that public positions beallocated according to merit, and that society provide allits members with their minimum needs so that they have theopportunity to fulfill themselves. Where people onceserved the state, the state now functions to serve thepeople. The clash between this ascending morality and thedeclining morality of higher purposes is the primarydriver of contemporary political and cultural conflict. Asweeping, big-idea book in the vein of Francis Fukuyama'sThe End of History, Charles Taylor's The Secular Age, andRichard Sennett's The Fall of Public Man, Edward Rubin'snew volume promises to reshape our understanding ofmorality, its relationship to government, and its role inshaping the emerging world of High Modernity"--$cProvidedby publisher.
