The study has two parts. First, to examine ethics from the stand - points of philosophy and religion, second, with this as a base, to analyze the ethical dimensions of primarily the work of Skinner, Erikson, but also of others. PI hopes to learn what ethicists, secular and religious can tell about the psychologists, and what the psychologists can tell about the ethics.
