Description: This groundbreaking study explores the ways young
Americans today understand right and wrong, how they think out
their morality, and how they live it out. It describes contrasting
ethical styles in the biblical, utilitarian, and personalist
traditions of our culture; first, as they structured the conflict
between mainstream and counterculture during the 1960s, and second,
as they have shaped the transformation of these values in new
religious movements since the early 1970s. Coupling descriptive
ethics with interpretive sociology, this study pursues biography
and moral dialogue with sixties youth who participated in a
charismatic Christian sect, a Zen Buddhist meditation center, and a
human potential organization (est). It shows the significance of
these movements for the adherents' changing ideas of their own
identity; their relationships, sex roles, courtship, and marriage;
and their politics and vision of society. It analyzes the cultural
logic and the social location of their ideas, which break down,
recombine, and find renewal in the course of conversion.
