Certain things, like justice, have impersonal value. Other things,
like your parents, carry personal values: they have value for you.
Besides whatever value they have, they are valuable to you. The
philosophical literature as well as non-philosophical literature is
inundated with suggestions about the kinds of thing that are good
for us or, if it is a negative personal value, what is bad for us.
This is a stimulating and vivid area of philosophical research, but
it has tended to monopolize the notion of 'good-for', linking it
necessarily to welfare or well-being. Since these more or less
well-grounded pieces of advice are seldom accompanied by an
analysis of the notion of 'good-for', there is a need for such an
analysis. Ronnow-Rasmussen remedies this need, by offering a novel
way of analyzing the notion of personal value. He defends the idea
that we have reason to expand our classical value taxonomy with
these personal values. By fine-tuning a pattern of value analysis
which has roots in the writings of the Austrian philosopher Franz
Bretano, this sort of analysis will come to cover personal values,
too. In addition, Ronnow-Rasmussen makes substantial contributions
to a number of issues, including hedonism vs. preferentialism,
subjectivism vs. objectivism, value bearer monism vs. value bearer
pluralism, and the wrong kind of reason problem -- all of which are
much debated among today's value theorists.
