Formal representations of values and norms are employed in several
academic disciplines and specialties, such as economics,
jurisprudence, decision theory and social choice theory. Sven Ove
Hansson closely examines such foundational issues as the values of
wholes and the values of their parts, the connections between
values and norms, how values can be decision-guiding and the
structure of normative codes with formal precision. Models of
change in both preferences and norms are offered, as well as a
method to base the logic of norms on that of preferences. Hansson
has developed a unified formal representation of values and norms
that reflects both their static and their dynamic properties. This
formalized treatment, carried out in terms of both informal value
theory and precise logical detail, will contribute to the
clarification of certain issues in the basic philosophical theory
of values and norms.
