Justice, Ideology, and Education
Justice,ideology, and education are provocative words in the English language. Volumes have been written on each of these terms, and we still argue vehemently about what each of them means. Who should decide the purposes of schools? Does it make a difference what kinds of schools exist for different students? How is justice a dominant consideration in providing schooling? What ideologies lie behind our efforts at mass education, and which ideologies are to be taught? How do the current reforms in education fit with our traditions—most particularly, our traditional ideology of democracy and its attendant concern for justice? Why does the pressure for "excellence" in school reform literature pose serious justice problems for a democracy?

What Future for the State?
For those whose eyes are principally on Masaru Tamamoto, imagining all that the “information superhighway” will soon bring, acknowledging but rendering almost secondary the invention of new and more powerful weapons of mass destruction that wrought such havoc in the world, it is the science and technology that created wholly new life possibilities for hundreds of millions that provides the excuse for exultation. The satisfaction and Preface to the Issue “What Future for the State?” I Ii VI Dtzdalus pride felt about human inventions that transformed existing institutions and practices, in medicine, communications, and transport, to cite only three of the more obvious areas, are but a small part of a larger achievement thought to be significant.

Torrents of Spring SOVIET AND POST-SOVIET POLITICS
Trotsky relates that shortly after the October Revolution, Lenin tumed to him and in German proclaimed, “My head is swimming.” So we too, specialists and students of the former Soviet Union, may wish to exclaim that our heads are swimming in the wake of the dizzying revolutionary events of the last decade. In the last eleven years the central regime in Moscow has had five leaders (Brezhnev, Andropov, Chemenko, Gorbachev, Yeltsin). Fifteen independent states, many of them quite unfamiliar to us (who can say anything about Kyrgyzstan or Turkmenistan?), have replaced one unified central state. The Soviet Union is gone, the Cold War is over, the once powerful Soviet military has fallen apart and splintered, and Russia and Ukraine are even quasi-allies of the United States. These revolutionary changes have destroyed our familiar postwar world and planted us firmly in teri'a incognita.

ISSUES IN MORAL PHILOSOPHY
This anthology attempts to harmonize these two critical aspects of ethics. The book's aim is to serve as a basic text for an introductory course in ethics that will shortchange neitherthe instructor's desire for conceptual sophistication nor the students' demand for relevance. The first section takes up fundamental issues of broad significance: the authority of conventional morality, moral psychology, basic approaches to ethical theory, justice, and morality and the law. The remaining sections explore topics of special contemporary relevance: censorship and sexual ethics, abortion, euthanasia, punishment and the death penalty, prejudice and equality, economic responsibilities, and nuclear deterrence.
