The present work addresses itself to the question of the nature of
appraisive concepts such as were the subject of investigation in
The Concepts of Value* and The Concepts of Criticism. ** Many
problems of prime importance in the theory of value could not be
adequately treated there without diminishing the basic purpose of
those studies which was above all to identify, classify and provide
a general theoretical framework for the host of concepts with which
we characterize and commend subjects of appraisal in all of the
principal areas of human interest. The author might have
forestalled the disappointment of some of his critics had he then
explicitly promised to consider those problems at a later time. But
his reluctance to promise what he might not be in a position to
produce outweighed a keen awareness of what the problems are and of
their evident seriousness. Although my treatment of such problems
has only now been undertaken, in point of time my concern with them
antedates by far the em pirical explorations of the two texts
mentioned. Anyone who undertakes such a study is likely to have
come under the in fluence of Professor Frank Sibley's 'Aesthetic
Concepts't and of later develop ments in his analysis of certain
appraisive concepts. What do such concepts mean and how do they
mean9 These are the questions he treated in such a stimulating
fashion."
