Established to reflect upon the scholarly and scientific learning relating to human values, the lectureships are international and intercultural, and transcend ethnic, national, religious, and ideological distinctions. Appointment as a Tanner lecturer is a recognition of uncommon capabilities and outstanding scholarly or leadership achievement in the field of human values. The lecturers in Volume IV, originally published in 1983, examine modern society from a number of philosophical and practical points of view, and all are optimistic concerning the possibility of our continued growth and survival.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe Tanner Lectures on Human Values\u003cbr\u003e The founding trustees\u003cbr\u003e The advisory commission\u003cbr\u003e Preface to Volume IV\u003cbr\u003e 1.
