BIBLIOGRAPHY   .  \nVol.1,No.4  \n# Theory of Valuation\n\nJohn Dewey  \n## 1.Its Problems\n\nA skeptically inclined person viewing the present state of thediscussion of valuing and values might find reason for conclud-ing that a great ado is being made about very little,possiblyabout nothing at all.For the existing state of discussion showsnot only that there is a great difference of opinion about theproper theoretical interpretation to be put upon facts,whichmight be a healthy sign of progress,but also that there is greatdisagreement as to what the facts are to which theory applies,and indeed whether there are any facts to which a theory ofvalue can apply.For a survey of the current literature of thesubject discloses that views on the subject range from the be-lief,at one extreme,that so-called\"values\"are but emotionalepithets or mere ejaculations,to the belief,at the other extreme,that a priori necessary standardized,rational values are theprinciples upon which art,science,and morals depend for theirvalidity.And between these two conceptions lies a number ofintermediate views.The same survey will also disclose that dis-cussion of the subject of \"values\"is profoundly affected by epis-temological theories about idealism and realism and by meta-physical theories regarding the\"subjective”and the “objec-tive.”  \nGiven a situation of this sort,it is not easy to find a starting-point which is not compromised in advance.For what seems onthe surface to be a proper starting-point may in fact be simplythe conclusion of some prior epistemological or metaphysicaltheory.Perhaps it is safest to begin by asking how it is thatthe problem of valuation-theory has come to bulk so largely inrecent discussions.Have there been any factors in intellectual  \nVol.II,No.4  \n1  \n# Theory of Valuation\n\nhistory which have produced such marked changes in scientificattitudes and conceptions as to throw the problem into relief?  \nWhen one looks at the problem of valuation in this context,one is at once struck by the fact that the sciences of astronomy,physics,chemistry,etc.,do not contain expressions that by anystretch of the imagination can be regarded as standing forvalue-facts or conceptions.But,on the other hand,all de-liberate,all planned human conduct,personal and collective,seems to be influenced,if not controlled,by estimates of valueor worth of ends to be attained.Good sense in practical affairsis generally identified with a sense of relative values.This con-trast between
