ABSTRACT
At any rate, in dealing with human life, we are necessarily led to pay some attention to all the things that human beings deal with quicquid agunt hominess. It remains true, however, that human life concerns us more nearly than any other distinguishable aspect of the Universe in which we live. That is generally recognized that it is only to living things and their direct products that such teleological interpretations can be immediately applied. For further light on it, readers may be referred to Professor Muirhead's book on Philosophy and Life and to his very admirable Introduction to the second series of Contemporary British Philosophy. The consideration of the most important and fundamental of these ends is what we understand by the study of Values; and the present essay is an attempt to examine their place and relations in human thought and life, with special reference to their bearing on social problems.
