ABSTRACT

The peculiarity of whole group is that positive oppositions have ceased and have given place to more complex relations. The positive opposites are lacking, and even when they do put in an appearance their antinomical characteristic is absent. In place of it there is merely a contradictory relation. In every single group which is discernible there is a new and differently formed point of view, with a different clue and a different context. Thus from the outset heterogeneity necessarily strikes the mind. The axiological dimensions are therefore one-sided series. Between their extremes they embrace a continuum only one half of which is positive; the other half is negative. Along with supplementary group of fundamental values which adheres to the personal subject as such there exists a second series which also conditions the content of moral values. The valuational antitheses were discovered in the categorial analysis of value and of the Ought; hence their abstractness.
