In ""Common Values"", now with a new preface, Bok combines moral theory with practical ethics, demonstrating how moral values apply to all facets of life - personal, professional, domestic and international. Drawing on a great deal of historical material, Bok also includes in her examination consideration of the 1993 United Nations World Conference on Human Rights; the World Parliament of Religions; the publication of ""Veritatis Splendor"", Pope John Paul II's proclamation on morality; and the International Commission of Global Governance. Bok's defence of shared morality addresses a crucial topic for our time.
