Value and existence in the modern axiology

Abstract

Attachment to a particular deontic reality (which is regarded as a whole variety of value-existential world) combines value and existence. Th e existence defi nes a human being between the transcendent world and everyday world. It belongs to the realm of possibility. Value contains the meaningful, proper and desirable, which become mediators in inter-subjective value relationship of a man to himself and to the others, nature and the God as a self-valuable subjects as the norm, the ideal and the purpose. Th e existence removes an apparent impersonality of value oppositions (good — bad), and the value overcomes the amorphousness of existence, channel the life processes and becomes the core element of culture. It determines the relationship between the value and existence.
