"By the quality, the scope and the relevance of its articles, Cultural Values is making a notable contribution to an important and promising transdisciplinary field", JEAN-JOSEPH GOUX, Rice University, USA. I am delighted to announce the contents of the latest issue of Cultural Values, the journal dedicated to the transdisciplinary analysis of culture and its changing values. Now in its second volume, Cultural Values remains the only journal which moves forward the debate between those for whom ethical certainties and value systems have been undermined, and those who seek to resurrect values which have become outmoded. Through its new section Cultural Notes the journal fosters more informal discussion, summarizing key debates and addressing notable publications. Cultural Values publishes the latest thinking of leading international figures and the best writing of a new generation of scholars around the globe.
