Abstract
The beginning and the end of our inquiry have a close connection with one another. In 1.0 we think of ourselves valuing something, possessing it or taking satisfaction in it. In 16.0 we think of something distinct from ourselves that deserves to be valued. The relation between these has stirred up a problem over whether things are valued because they are valuable, or are valuable because they are valued. We shall consider this question only to the extent that a study of the language of valuation, of commendation, characterization, and judging may enable us to throw some light on it. (Cf. 2.1.)
