A description of the lecture series reads: "The following quotation fixes the questions upon which this proposed series would dwell: 'Whether he sees himself as religious or not, modern man cannot be ethical in the way that the religious man of former times was, before the 'death of God.' Two possibilities remain open for modern man. The first being ethical within given, inherited structures - the family, the church, the culture, the state - ordinary living which, because it is within these structures and because it rests on some genuine interhuman contact, is ethical in practice . . . . The second is the vastly more difficult and painful discovery of the ethical in limit situations, in the 'absurd,' in the 'eclipse of God.' (Maurice Friedman)." Goerner's student, Bill O'Grady, was another presenter in the series.
