ABSTRACT

The changes in value experience philosophers saw could be attributed to changes in perspective from the values of their differing perspectives, what will be the values of certain other perspectives; they need to understand the general conditions affecting the values of perspectives, and the particular conditions of the perspectives concerned. The process of evaluation of an object is the process of attentively observing and summing up the various differentiations of value characterizing it. Philosophy is deeply indebted to Professor W. M. Urban for his emphasis upon the fact that value means validity and objective validity. Values are primarily qualities, but in that they carry with them a demand upon the will they also imply an “ought,” and every value judgment implies the acknowledgment1 of an obligation or validity. The great difficulty of all forms of the Timological theory is to do justice to philosophers’ subjective experiences of value.
