On the problems of the philosophy of value. Heinrich Rickert against the background of roman Ingarden

In: Filozofija i društvo, Band 33, Heft 2, S. 370-388

Abstract

The article looks at the concept of value in Heinrich Rickert?s philosophy of
value and attempts a systematic study of this concept in the context of the
fundamental problems in Roman Ingarden?s ontology of value. The result is a
systematised presentation of Rickert?s notion of value and a series of
conclusions concerning fundamental aspects of his philosophy of culture. The
essential discrepancy that the comparison reveals concerns the formal
character of Rickert?s philosophy of values, which implies a great deal of
openness and freedom in the understanding and implementation of values.
Another fundamental difference exposed by Ingarden concerns the ontological
status of values.
