Synopsis

A value system based on a universal categorical framework is presented showing the interdependence of all values. Methods of conceptional development, types of judgment, the establishment of interrelated hierarchies of values and their tactical use is detailed as needed to deal with reality. This epistemology projects a new approach to economics and also a moral code of self-improvement distinct from the moralizing approach so common in philosophy.

Review

-A notable effort in philosophical reconstruction from the theoretical and the practical point of view. Lucid in style and comprehensive in scope, the book is both readable and engrossing. Because the author does not hesitate to speak his mind forthrightly on serious issues, the book is sure to excite controversy.- (Dr. Charles M. Kovich, Chairman, Department of English Rockhurst College)
-An expression of informed concern for the present and immediate future of our economy and human relations. Free of social science jargon it covers a wide array of experiences of contemporary Americans. Critical observations abound, but the overall message the book is optimistic.- (Dr. Ernest Manheim, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University of Missouri in Kansas City)"
