Description

Explore the fundamental questions of human existence in The Origin of Values by Raymond Boudon. This reprint edition from Routledge examines why values differ across cultures and centuries, addressing what defines what is good, bad, fair, or unfair. Rather than relying on abstract concepts, Boudon provides an empirical, data-based analysis of existing theories. He investigates the mechanisms behind why individuals accept or reject specific value statements. By classifying major theories of value - including those rooted in firm belief and social structures - this work offers a clear perspective on the sociology and philosophy of beliefs. This text is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in how human values are formed and maintained within society. It bridges the gap between philosophical inquiry and social science through rigorous analysis.
