Just when we need them the most, our ethical resources seem least clear and reliable. Hence our search for foundations of ethics. Our intent in this volume has not been to solve any specific moral problem, but to explore basic issues: the prospects for a rational ethic; the relation between ethics and a religious mythos; the challenge of non-Western ethical values; problems raised by the practice of confession, the evaluation of privacy, the ubiquity of science, and more. We obviously have not explored all the foundation issues. We cannot even claim that the ones we have explored are always the most significant. We do claim, however, that these explorations give a vivid picture of our ethical dilemma, and present some of the best thinking currently being done. ― from the Introduction

Leroy S. Rouner (1930–2006) was professor of philosophy, religion, and philosophical theology at Boston University.
“As a basic reader of foundational issues and concerns, this volume should prove to be quite useful to the serious student of ethics.” (The Review of Books and Religion)
