Exploring Values: An Analytical Study of Axiology (Philosophy of Value)

By Petrus Eko Handoyo

Philosophy studies all things, all reality. Philosophy, in general, raises questions everything real. But it always asks about one of the aspects of reality, which becomes our focus of exploration. Philosophy, however, is always the "philosophy of" something special, like philosophy of man, philosophy of value, philosophy of digital technology, philosophy of beauty, and others.

This book is truly concerned with values. It is about philosophy of value, or axiology. "What is value?" The human life always relates to values. What we hope for as well as what we believe in mostly connect with our values, although we also face physical matters in life. Do we truly pursue the abstract things in life? How do we know we have values? Are values forever related to the good and the sacred? What about the bad, the evil, and the ugly?

Furthermore, this axiological book explores the world of values through various axiological standpoints, debates, the problems of values in human life, factual and evaluative judgments, the structure of human values, issues of values in culture, worldview as the core of every culture, and close personal relationships. The book, finally, may motivate us to identify, discover as well as rediscover our core values by formulating personally axiological perspectives.
