First, what is the type of thing that can have value? (Actions, states of affairs, objects?) And then, what is it that makes something have value?

  • Do you mean, be a 'moral subject'? Or, defines the direction of 'moral progress'? Value is a really vague term, very subject to opinion, so not suitable for a question on this site, as is. – CriglCragl Jun 23 '23 at 22:22
  • I mean what makes one thing better than another (in a moral sense). – Kirby Jun 23 '23 at 23:24

    Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community Jun 24 '23 at 09:08
  • Perhaps you could give context, how you came to this question, & what concrete issues you have in mind. – CriglCragl Jun 24 '23 at 09:36
  • Presumably any mental object, or phenomenon, can be ascribed value. This value results from the interplay of instinct and experience. My answer on the nature and origin of values provides more detail. For a sociological perspective, consider Spiral Dynamics. – Michael Jun 24 '23 at 14:57
