註釋This book addresses a range of questions concerning the nature of contemporary social bonds based on work carried out in conjunction with the European Values System Study Group. Questions asked include: How extensively do we trust social institutions, ourselves and others? Do we enjoy a common life constituted by a shared idea of commonly valued goods and valued futures? How far do family and religion contribute to our view of present obligation and of a preferred future? The author points out that to talk about we and our is easy, but a comparison of surveys made in 1981 and 1990 enables us to question such apparent solidarity. While discussion of values can easily slide into high-mindedness, the wide-ranging questionnaire used in the 1990 study on which this book is based, tells us a great deal about the public doctrine of ordinary people in Britain and about the extent to which they participate in the same world of ideas and belong to each other.
