Welcome to this website dedicated to axiology, ethics & philosophy of values
What is axiology?
Is it identical with ethics, or 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 do we respond to the nihilist who argues that "Nothing has value"?
These are some of the questions that are raised throughout the book Axiology 4.0 (or "Proposal for a New Axiology").
