Summary/Abstract: In this paper we consider an incomplete T. M. Scanlon’s meta-axiological project, analysis of the relationship between values and reasons which he referred to as the “buckpassing account of value”. We will try to show the necessity of distinguishing between the “broader” and “narrower” buck-passing conception of value, a difference that critics of the conception usually ignored. This will also show that the objection which has been defined as the „wrong kind of reason problem“ is unjustifiably expanded to the conception as a whole.
