Axiology

Axiology is the branch of philosophy that studies values, including ethics and aesthetics. It explores questions about what is valuable, good, or meaningful in life—such as concepts of right and wrong, beauty, and worth. Axiology helps us understand how we judge and prioritize different qualities or ideals, shaping our beliefs, choices, and cultural norms. Essentially, it examines the nature of value itself and why certain things are considered important or desirable.
