"To be" of value

a direction of the research into the essence of value

Meitang Sun

pp. 29-35

Abstract

The former definition of "value" used to be focused on "being" of value, that is, to seek the predicate of value. This paper seeks to interpret value as its production and manifestation as well as its effects in the dynamic subject-object relation. The key to understand value needs to be switched to "to be". Hence, the value philosophy of cutting-edge in China—"Relation theory" needs to be deepened and further concretized.
