Grateful acknowledgement is made to the scholars from many countries whose serious scholarship, personal sacrifice of time and resources, and high dedication have made the realization of this study an object lesson in interdisciplinary and international cooperation. They have demonstrated that scholars can do more than suggest tasks in need of realization, leaving to others the determination of whether and how their capabilities will serve. Working in bonds of shared concern, they themselves have determined what must be done and have shared their separate capabilities to develop insight possible only as the fruit of extended and intensive collaboration. If the truly new insight required for the future is to be generated, this team has shown how it can be done.

The scholars from the project on The Foundations of Moral Education gave generously of their time to provide seminars for the visiting scholars so that they might grasp better the pattern of research which had been done by those teams of philosophers, psychologists and specialists in education. In response with the present volume the scholars from Central and South America and from the Philippines have added a dimension of social experience and concern which probably could not have been realized by scholars in the less troubled atmosphere of North American. The result is a new level of North-South collaboration.

Acknowledgement is made also to Mrs. B. Kennedy for her tireless assistance in preparing materials for the discussions and for this volume, to Joseph Blaney for his careful reading and helpful suggestions, and to the James A. McLeans for their help in the realization of this study.
