pp. 185-195

Abstract

In the ancient Chinese cultural classics it is difficult to find a modern sense of the term "value" which matches the traditional concept. But the expression of the content of value and value judgment can be found everywhere, such as "the noble", "the honor", "the good", "the worship", "the convenient", etc. These concepts have a common characteristic, that is, the subject operation orientation and choice intention in the composition of the meaning which they express are far more than the value of the phenomenon itself and the cognitive, description and judgment. While the operation of orientation and choice intention are determined, it contains a logical premise which is for a variety of possible or actual value to make a necessary comparison, and according to the degree of the fundamental and the incident to make the arrangement of order.
