Sumario:An introduction to a special issue on theory in action. Each of the articles offers an idea of what may be a central focus of modern thinking that moves away from the excesses of post modernism and seeks a global culture of responsibility that is critical of self and protective of nature, including humanity. They imply no culture of religious or antireligious sentiment but instead reflect a lateral acceptance of religious thought within the broader ethical dimension of the place of the individual in the wider sphere of humanity and the natural world. Individual and group responsibility is a unifying theme. An overview of the contributions is provided.
