FAIN: FB-11193-72

Colgate University (Hamilton, NY 13346-1338)
Roland P. Blum (Project Director: September 1972 to present)

To support research for the development of an ethical theory which locates the ultimate source of moral obligation in the intersubjective relationship between two persons, and not in the context of contemporary Anglo-American philosophical thinking which stresses the importance of ethical action as guided by impersonal, universalizable rules.
