Established to advance and reflect upon the scholarly and
scientific learning relating to human values and valuation, the
annual Tanner lectures are international and intercultural, and
transcend ethnic, national, religious and ideological distinctions.
Volume V includes 'A Writer from Mexico', by Carlos Fuentes; 'Only
a Vision', by Ilya Prigogine; 'The Incompleat Egoist', by David
Gauthier; 'Scientific Literacy as a Goal in a High-Technology
Society', by Herbert A. Simon; 'The Value of Genius: Haydn in His
Time', by H. C. Robbins Landon, and indexes for the first five
volumes in the series. 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
represented in Volume V, originally published in 1984, view the
self from five varied perspectives - from the exploration of the
intimate creative self to the preparation of the individual for
citizenship through scientific training.
