This present volume is a modest effort to analyze some of the moral dilemmas of our time, and to indicate elements of hope for the futur. The essays refer to a variety of complex situations, each of which seems to threaten our generation, but which, appraoched creatively, may turn out to be a stage in the improvement of the human condition. The volume is based on the premise that consideration of man"s ethical life should be given the same attention now directed to scientific and technological achievemnt, and indeed that this achievemnet be utilized, when possible, for the better understanding of the meaning and goals of life. From the Foreward by Louis Finkelstein
