探寻价值的源泉——佩佩尔的自然主义价值理论述评

The Sources of Value: S.C. Pepper's Naturalistic Value Theory

美国哲学家S .C .佩佩尔从目的性行为结构分析和选择系统理论两方面探究价值的来源和基础。它代表了在价值本质与来源问题上的一种自然主义的立场、观点和方法 ,为反思自然主义价值论径路提供了一个经典蓝本。

Typical of the naturalistic approach of value theory, S.C.Pepper's value theory represents the naturalistic standpoints, perspectives and methodology concerning the nature and sources of value. There are two main parts in Pepper's value theory: a detailed analysis of purposive behavior structure and an original theory of selective system.
