Foundations of Futures Studies: Volume 2: Values, Objectivity, and the Good Society

Now available in paperback with a new preface from the author, Volume 2 of Foundations of Futuress Studies moves beyond cultural relativism to critical evaluation. Bell compares depictions of the good society by utopian writers, describes objective methods of moral judgment, assesses religion and law as sources of what is morally right, documents the existence of universal human values, and shows that if human beings are to thrive in the global society of the future, some human values must be changed.
