This book attempts to open up a path towards a phenomenological
theory of values (more technically, a phenomenological axiology).
By drawing on everyday experience, and dissociating the notion of
value from that of tradition, it shows how emotional sensibility
can be integrated to practical reason. This project was prompted by
the persuasion that the fragility of democracy, and the current
public irrelevance of the ideal principles which support it,
largely depend on the inability of modern philosophy to overcome
the well-entrenched skepticism about the power of practical reason.
The book begins with a phenomenology of cynical consciousness,
continues with a survey of still influential theories of value
rooted in 20th century philosophy, and finally offers an outline of
a bottom-up axiology that revives the anti-skeptical legacy of
phenomenology, without ignoring the standards set by contemporary
metaethics.
