Value (ethics)
In ethics,
value denotes something's degree of importance, with the aim of determining what action of life is best to do or live (
deontology), or to describe the significance of different actions (
axiology). It may be described as treating actions themselves as abstract objects, putting value to them. It deals with right conduct and good life, in the sense that a highly, or at least relatively highly, valuable action may be regarded as ethically "good" (
adjective sense), and an action of low, or at least relatively low, value may be regarded as "bad".
