This book explains and advances formal axiology as originally
developed by Robert S. Hartman. Formal axiology identifies the
general patterns involved in (1) the meaning of "good" and other
value concepts, in (2) what we value (value-objects), and in (3)
how we value (valuations or evaluations). It explains the rational,
practical, and affective aspects of evaluation and shows how to
make value judgments more rationally and effectively. It
distinguishes between intrinsic, extrinsic, and systemic values and
evaluations, and discusses how and why they fall into a rational
hierarchy of value. It demonstrates the intrinsic worth of unique
conscious beings and develops an axiological ethics in the three
value dimensions. It explores the search for a logical calculus of
value and introduces applications of axiology in psychology,
religion, aesthetics, and business. It is critical of Hartman's
shortcomings but builds upon his strengths and extends his theory
of values where incomplete.
