The Content Space of the Value concept and its Significance in Personal Life and State Policy

Summary/Abstract: Values are important in human and public life but their concept and significance are understood and interpreted differently, as this greatly depends on the methodological approach. The purpose of the article is to highlight the multidimensionality of the concept of value and its significance to the individual and state policy. To achieve this goal, theoretical analysis is integrated with the results of a study conducted in 2016. It appears that although each informant interprets the content of values individually, they are undoubtedly important in personal life and state policy. They can be given different degrees of weight, idiosyncratic interpretations and levels of significance for human life and state policy, but nonetheless, the moral basis of their evaluation is the reliability of virtue ethics. Thus, values and virtues are closely interrelated and the human and state policy navigation systems should be developed on the basis of virtues and closely related values.
