ABSTRACT

An argument can be made for values, valorisations and norms (personal, epistemic, social, political, dispositional, spatial, temporal and ethical) as being centrally implicated in both our descriptions of the world and our life-choices. There are two dimensions to this claim. The first is a claim that objects in the world and human beings are valued in relation to each other and to other object-types. A second dimension is that values are epistemological.
