Definition of Axiological

Values are certainly an important issue in people's lives and in the smooth functioning of a society as well. What is good or what is considered bad or harmful are questions that people must know in order to know how to behave and thus avoid behaviors that are punished in some way by the community in which we live.

Axiology is a detachment from philosophy , a branch of it, which deals with reflecting, studying the nature of values, especially moral values and the value judgments that are generated in an individual regarding them.
The moral values have a classification hierarchy implies that has values considered as positive or good, as in the case of what is good, while below that level, in a lower step, are negative values located, those who are it is preferable to discard because it is assumed that they will not lead to a state of harmony and happiness.

It should be noted that axiology must address both positive and negative values ​​in the same way because precisely from this analysis, the value or not of something can be determined and a reality can be considered as ideal compared to another that proposes the opposite, such is the case of love versus hate, justice, versus injustice , peace versus war, among others.
The structuring of values ​​that a person has is what ultimately delineates his personality , his decisions and the way in which he appreciates life.
