In that article T. argued that religious sentiments, moral ones for instance, arose from the nature surrounding man. Just as ideas about good and evil were formed after the sensations of pleasant and unpleasant in the nature, religious views were also influenced by the fact how the milieu was perceived. As an example, T. cites concepts connected with Angra Mainyu and Ahura Mazda. Another source of shaping the morality, from T.'s point of view, is sympathy, which he defines as “a temporary feeling arising in response to one or another expression of feelings experienced by another person”. In terms of modern psychology, we would call this phenomenon empathy. The concept of empathy as the basis of morality is one of the key topics for modern evolutionary psychology, so it is obvious that T., putting forward this assumption, was well ahead of his time.
