| Summary |
"Az erkölcsi világ" by Zsigmond Bodnár is a philosophical work written in the late 19th century. The text discusses the moral fabric of society, challenging the dominance of a materialistic worldview and advocating for a return to higher ideals of virtue, honor, and dignity. Bodnár reflects on the evolution of thought and morality over time, particularly during the transitions between idealism and realism, suggesting that humanity’s spiritual development is cyclical. The opening of the work establishes Bodnár's intent to explore the underlying laws that govern the moral world, which he claims have been eroded by a superficial approach to philosophy and science. He critiques the prevailing materialism, suggesting that while it has led to material comfort, it has also diminished the spiritual and ethical dimensions of life. Bodnár introduces the theme of cyclical progress and regression in human thought, hinting at a personal journey of inquiry amid influential philosophers and their contributions to understanding human nature and morality. Throughout this advocacy for renewed idealism, the author sets the stage for a deeper analysis of historical patterns and their implications for society’s moral compass.
