Note(s) : Notes bibliogr. Index
Value theory, or axiology, looks at what things are good or bad, how good or bad they
are, and, most fundamentally, what it is for a thing to be good or bad. Questions
about value and about what is valuable are important to moral philosophers, since
most moral theories hold that we ought to promote the good (even if this is not the
only thing we ought to do). This Handbook focuses on value theory as it pertains to
ethics, broadly construed, and provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary debates
pertaining not only to philosophy but also to other disciplines-most notably, political
theory and economics. The Handbook's twenty-two newly commissioned chapters are divided
into three parts. Part I: Foundations concerns fundamental and interrelated issues
about the nature of value and distinctions between kinds of value. Part II: Structure
concerns formal properties of value that bear on the possibilities of measuring and
comparing value. Part III: Extensions, finally, considers specific topics, ranging
from health to freedom, where questions of value figure prominently.
