似每個時代都有不同的道德問題，但在殊樣的道德問題背後， 人們卻又可感受到乎有著最根本的道德準則在指引著人，所以思想家們希望能找到使每個人都承認它是正確且 接受它、把它視為義務的倫理法則，也希望能釐清在衡量事物時所根據的「價值」究竟是什麼。本文試著，透過當代德國價值學家謝勒 (MaxScheler,1874-1928) 的觀點，分別從「價 值的性質」、價值的次序，以及「偏好」與「愛」等方面，來對倫理單課題中的「價值」。 作一探討。最後指出，身為價值客觀論者的謝勒，在強調價值的先驗客觀性時，並非只是藉此把「價值」東之高閣，成為與人無關且高高在上的領域，而是同時提出直觀的偏好，兼顧到人類心靈與價值的密切交融性，其價值學所開展出的道路，帶領著人的思緒走向另一片天地。

　　　　　Every age has its own moral dilemmas to face. In every special ethical background however, there seems to be a basic ethical standard from which mankind can find direction. Every thinker therefore hopes to be able to find a system which everyone can accept, a system that can find acceptance as a standard for ethical obligation. A thinker would also hope that the system would be able to give a definitive understanding of what 'value* really is. This essay would like to proceed from the philosophy of the modern German thinker Max Scheler. It divides the discussion of values into the categories of: value properties, value ordering, fondness for some things, and love. Scheler proceeds from an objective viewpoint in analyzing values. In emphasizing an a priori nature of values, he avoids a lofty, superior attitude that would disenfranchise most from any discussion on the subject. Scheler posits an intuition of 'fondness', which caters to the intimate relationship between the spirit and a sense of value. Scheler's value studies take one to an unopen territory of speculation.
