Abstract

When referring to moral reality, Roman Ingarden used the language of values. This article presents a description of moral values, and analyzes the terminology used to characterize them and explain their mode of existence. With regard to the theory of moral values, the experience of obligation and the problem of normativity are of crucial importance. An examination of both leads to questions about the way new classes of moral values emerge and the obligation to follow them is recognized. The discussion also reveals difficulties in the application of the language of values to the communication of moral issues.
