重新认识价值论的性质

在我国价值论研究走过了四十年的今天,需要对价值论的学科性质进行反思和检视。价值论作为哲学主干学科之一,研究自然和社会的价值现象和价值问题,揭示价值的本性、本质,以及人类认识和实现价值的规律,阐明价值世界的规定性及其对于人类的意义。在此基础上,价值论还要为社会提供理想的社会价值体系及其构建方案,回答人类生活中的重大价值问题,为人类生活确立价值论原则。价值论可以划分为理论价值论、实践价值论和元价值论三大部分,其使命在于告诉人们什么是真正的价值,什么是最高价值即至善,以及如何实现价值并逐渐趋近至善。它为人们提供至善信念,规范和指导人类的价值活动,给社会提供价值体系及其构建方案,引领人类不断追求和构建美好生活世界。价值论的研究方法主要是哲学的思辨方法,但也需借鉴其他学科研究价值问题的方法。价值论与哲学家族中研究不同领域常态价值问题的分支学科存在着密切而复杂的关系。
