    This document discusses the meaning of values according to Jocano and outlines different perspectives on what constitutes "good". It defines values as objects, ideas, or actions and explains the challenge in measuring abstract concepts. Values are either objective, emanating from external truth, or subjective, based on personal or cultural views. When defining "good", Aristotle's view was that it is the purpose or end of a being. The moral law enables man to discern right from wrong through reason. A table shows how moral laws apply universally through basic norms and specifications like the 10 Commandments, ethics codes, and constitutions.

    Chapter I
    The Meaning of Values

    VALUE
    According to Jocano (1993):
    There are 3 distinct areas of Values
    1. Objects 2. Ideas 3. Actions
    From the Latin word valere which
    literally means to measure. Taken
    broadly, this implies three things:
    1. The one who measures
    2. The thing measured
    3. The standard of measurement

    When

    applied to physical things, there is not


    much problem as to which standard to follow. If
    one needs accuracy, for instance, he can always
    refer to such measuring devices as watches,
    weighing scales, meters and so on. There is
    practically no problem as regards time, weight,
    distance, depth, height, breadth, length,
    magnitude or amount.
    The same cannot be said, however, of nonphysical objects. For there is, admittedly a
    problem when it comes to abstract things like
    character, freedom, justice, faith, these being
    non-sensible realities. Surely, such things cannot
    be put under a microscope or be subjected to any
    complicated experiment. Thus, there must be
    some unique standard to follow.

    SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE


    INTERPRETATIONS
    Two kinds of values:
    Objective
    Maybe defined as those which originate
    from without truth itself
    Those absolute moral values which are
    ethically and socially binding to all men at
    all times and in all places.
    Subjective
    There which emanate from within, the
    behavioral values which are either the
    personal views of an individual man or the
    collective concepts of a cultural group.

    VALUE AS GOOD
    These philosophical views on good are here presented:

    1. The Thomistic point of


    view
    St. Thomas of Aquinas, a
    noted theologian in the 13th
    century, once said, Things are
    good, in so far as they are.

    2. The Aristotelian View


    According to the great philosopher, the
    good is that at which all things aim the
    basic question that is asked of every
    being is; what is it for. In metaphysics,
    the purpose of end of a being is called
    the final cause end means the real
    purpose and not just any kind of end it
    serves a purpose.
    Eternal Law God created the material
    universe out of nothing
    God is the Lawmaker who preserves and
    governs what He creates

    3. The good in relation to the Moral Law.


    Third notion of good is anchored in the definitions of
    the Moral Law. It explains specific to man alone in
    as much as this law enables him, through the light
    of his reason, to know right from wrong.
    Animals are except from this law because the set on
    mere distinct. Whatever actions they make are
    always without deliberation and free choice.
    Applies only to free and rational creatures
    Man needs ore that just his reason to know right
    from wrong.
    This very reason why we need laws.
    To insure ethical behavior, each community must
    have an authority structure, laws and sanction.
