ABSTRACT

The key to axiological dimension of participation is the emotional sense of value, and, above that, valuational discernment applied to the diversity of materials. In evaluating tendency natural value passes over into moral value. All higher development of spiritually moral power is conditioned by the development of the life which carries it; it not only stands and falls with the life, but also grows with it. Consciousness as a value reaches of course into the depth of the subject. In value of sense vitality, vital strength, the degree of life in man, is a value proper. It is the value of that side of his being by which he is deeply rooted in nature and is himself a natural entity. Consequently the valuational quality of man's real freedom is something different, entirely new, adhering to the personal subject as such, however much it may be conditioned metaphysically in its scope.
