ABSTRACT

The problem of ethics has always been a major topic of philosophical investigation. One of the most important philosophical schools in the twentieth century was phenomenology, which made the goal of its investigation reaching the essence of things, which included the domain of morality so very important in human life both on an individual and on a social scale. The central element of any ethical system is values, in particular, ethical values. Although colors manifest themselves in corporeal objects, colors do not depend on them. That is also the case with values. Although values are independent entities, they are accessible to the human subject through a special type of intuition, which is not rational, but emotive. Feelings access values. The moral disposition is the constant moral essence that acquires a dynamic value through the personhood of a person. Actions should be directed by the hierarchy of values, the a priori hierarchy independent of the wishes of a particular person.
