Welcome to a Website on Axiology, Ethics and the Philosophy of Values
What Is Axiology?
Is it identical to ethics or the philosophy of values?
What is a value? What is the problem of values?
What really has value?
Is our era relativistic? Is there a crisis of values?
How should one respond to a nihilist who argues that 'nothing has value'?
These are some of the questions explored throughout Axiology 4.0 (or 'A Proposal for a New Axiology').
