"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.
