writer in the country, one strong face determinedly wielding a pen into untruths,
hypocrisy, injustice, among others.

history of the Filipino novel is written, Francisco is likely to occupy an eminent place in
it. Already in Tagalog literature, he ranks among the finest novelists since the beginning
of the 20th century. In addition to a deft hand at characterization, Francisco has a
supple prose style responsive to the subtlest nuances of ideas and the sternest stuff of
passions."

for his “masterful handling of the Tagalog language" and “supple prose style”. With his
literary output in Tagalog, he contributed to the enrichment of the Filipino language and

LEARNING ACTIVITIES
LESSON 2
VALUES OF LITERATURE
What is values of
literature all about?
What are the values of
literature?
cultural value
helps one understand the past and how the world has evolved.
historical value explores human knowledge, how we know and what we know.
philosophical value teaches a lesson that will inspire the reader to live a better life.
ethical value
Entertainment Value
Political Value
Literature has political value if reading it gives occasion to change how a person
thinks or acts. Politics is about the management and flow of power. And power, like
electricity, flows from one end of a circuit to another to make things happen. Reading a
work can jolt someone into action. It can reveal an injustice, outrage its readers, give
voice to the oppressed, ridicule those who are corrupt, etc. The main idea here is to think
about what the work of literature is trying to do. It has political value if it attempts to
persuade people or the world to start acting and thinking in "this" way. We can see the
political leanings of a work without necessarily being persuaded ourselves. But most of
the time, we will like a work for its political leanings if we are in fact persuaded to align
ourselves with the author.
Artistic Value
Literature has artistic value if reading it gives occasion to contemplate the nature of
beauty and human creativity. There are many works of literature that experiment with
the limits of language and its expressive power. If I like how words can be manipulated to
create beautiful works of art, then a work that tries to use words that way in a new and
unique way will have artistic value for me. I would say that every work of literature that
we read in this course has artistic value because they are all works that have remained
important over the years for the way they extended the power of language in a new
direction. If you don't like words, it will be difficult to see the artistic value of any poem
or story. The value will still be there even if you don't see it, however.
Cultural Value
Literature has cultural value if reading it gives occasion to think about the place and
time of the author at the time the work was written. Authors might seem like
supernatural beings or at least people who are way above us, transcending the world down
here to live among the heavens with their artistic visions, but they are actually regular
people like the rest of us. They care about what is happening in the world around them,
and they have experiences in life that shape their attitudes toward various issues. If
their work addresses the attitudes, customs, and values of their time (or another time),
then the work has cultural value. The work becomes a window into a world that is
unfamiliar, and we are encouraged to compare cultural differences.
Historical Value
Literature has historical value if reading it gives occasion to think about the past,
how things changes overtime, and how the world has evolved into what it is today.
Historical value sometimes overlaps with cultural value; if a work is really old, then it can
give us insight into a culture so far back that we can also think about how that culture
might be a foundation for our own. The cliché about history is true--the less we now
about how things were, the more likely we are to relive them. Of course, some things
might be worth reliving, and we might regret some of the history we have left behind, but
other things we want to avoid repeating. Works of literature can help us learn about the
past, process the past, and use the past to our advantage. Sometimes the historical value
of a work is that it shows us what we have gained and what we have lost.
Philosophical Value
Literature has philosophical value if reading it gives occasion to explore the nature
of human knowledge, how we know and what we can know. These questions are central to
the production of art because any artist must interact with the world in order to
represent it, whether lyrically in a poem or through storytelling in fiction; he must, to
some extent, know the world. But it is hard to be certain about what we know or even
whether we can know anything at all. Some writers explore philosophical issues pretty
deeply because they are often a source of crisis that can create great drama and raise
intriguing questions. If a work invites us to think about perception, making sense of our
place in the world, or self-awareness, then we can say that it has philosophical value. In
response to such works, we tend to look inward and wonder, "who am I?"
Moral Value
Literature has moral value if reading it gives occasion to learn a lesson. If a story or
poem teaches us how to live, or attempts to teach us, then it has a moral dimension. Is
the work still valuable if we do not like the lesson it teaches? Perhaps so. The best
readers will see the moral value of a work even if the morals it endorses are somehow
distasteful to them. Moral value is a dangerous value to measure. The history of
censorship, for instance, is based on the idea that if a work teaches the "wrong" thing, it
should not be read at all. This idea goes all the way back to Plato, one of the earliest
philosophers to explore the moral dimension of stories and poetry. We have to be careful,
I think, not to hold moral value as the most important one. If we reduce a story or poem
to a moral lesson, or require that a story or poem BE a moral lesson that we can endorse,
then we are USING literature to back up our own beliefs. To avoid this mistake, we must
learn to appreciate works of literature for its various kinds of value. "To appreciate"
means "to measure the value of something," and we need to try to find value in a work if
we are inclined to reject it simply because we think it teaches the wrong lesson. Here is
where ethical value comes into play.
Ethical Value
Literature has ethical value if reading it gives occasion to think about ethical
questions. If a story dramatizes conflicts and dilemmas, it is not necessarily teaching us
how to live, but it encourages us to contemplate the codes that the characters live by. If
a poem has a speaker who promotes a particular world view or seems conflicted about the
world he lives in, the reader can try to look through the eyes of that speaker and see
what he or she sees. We may not agree with a speaker's or character's morality, but
seeing that morality in action can shed light on what it means or how it changes the world.
If we reflect on a moral code, instead of simply rejecting it or embracing it, then we are
thinking ethically, and literature that promotes such thinking is ethically valuable. Here
are some important ethical questions: What is the good life? What is the excellent life?
Where do the definitions of good and excellent come from? Why do different definitions
come into conflict? On what basis do they conflict? Remember: works that raise
questions do not always answer them. To measure the ethical value of a work of
literature, we need to ask the following questions:
Do the characters make choices in the work? What are those choices?
Do the characters or speakers defend particular beliefs or points of view? What
are they?
What motivates those choices or beliefs or points of view in the work?
Where does the confidence in that motivation come from in the work?
Is there a crisis in that confidence in the work? Why?
To what place do those choices or beliefs or points of view lead in the work?
Note: Yes, we can appreciate literature in the negative: we can decide that it holds little
to no value for us, ethically speaking. But we must be able to explain why it holds no value,
the same way we have to explain why it does. Your goal this semester is to learn how to
explain your evaluation one way or the other. Before you accept or reject a work of
literature based on its ethical value for you, you must first actually measure that value.
