| Summary: | The "limits to growth" debate has opened several new and potentially creative avenues for research and policy. This study explores one of these avenues: the vision of The Sustainable Society--a vision of an economy sustainable indefinitely in terms of resources and population, a new political system, and a new ethic. The third dimension, the new ethic, is the focus of attention. The need for visions is discussed, a theological foundation for the new ethic is suggested, and six guidelines derived. The guidelines provide the basis for critical and constructive comments on present and future social arrangements. The study concludes with an outline of the most significant implications for social and religious research. |
