Description

Value Theory by Francesco Orsi explores the nature of evaluative concepts used in everyday thinking and speech. This introduction to value theory examines the dimensions, structures, and connections that value concepts express, drawing on classic texts and contemporary theorists. Orsi guides readers through the moral maze of value theory using everyday examples and thought experiments. He considers various topics, including the value of objects like rare stamps and Napoleon's hat, as well as philosophical concepts such as good will, to probe our intuitions and question assumptions about value. By examining these different aspects of value theory, Orsi aims to help readers understand better what we mean when we talk about value.
