Abstract
How is value in general related to artistic value? And how is artistic value related to other kinds of value, e.g. ethical value? These questions are hardly new. But they are neither dead nor dying. In this article I will attempt to contribute to the discussion of these questions by examining René Le Senne’s position on them.
