Top Research Papers on Universal Human Values

Universal human values-this is one of the most frequently encountered phrases today; we are constantly coming across it on the pages of newspapers and magazines. Its frequency creates the illusion that its content is intuitively clear, attractive, and shared by everyone. However, the various versions of what is understood by universal human values-the good, truth, beauty, freedom, or civil society, a non-nuclear world, ecological protection, pluralism, etc.-show that this is by no means the case.

This article analyzes the fact that the subject of values is the basis of a number of worldviews, forms the central part of them, that many philosophical currents and thinkers have not bypassed this topic, and other issues. Also in the books and pamphlets devoted to the philosophical-historical analysis of the subject by scholars and experts living in the West and Europe, Russia and other parts of the former Soviet Union, this analysis focuses mainly on the heritage and value of European scholars.

In this postmodern age, anyone seeing a title like “Chinese Values and Western Values: Clash, Coexistence, or Consensus?” should have the knee-jerk reflex to ask back: Which “Chinese”? Which “Western”? The “Chinese” of the Communist Party under Xi Jinping? Of Mao Zedong in Yan'an? Of the Manchu Qing or the Mongol Yuan? The West of Adolf Hitler, Woodrow Wilson, or Pope Francis? As a Sinologist, I have witnessed many of these usually self-serving, “holier than thou” debates: Why did the Chinese not develop science? Is there such a thing as “civil society” in China? Is “rule of law” conceivable i...

The truth can be dangerous. It is because they realise this that the Roman Catholic Church forbid cremation. Cremation is, of course, theologically permissible, and in times of epidemic the Church allows it. But in normal times it is forbidden — Why? The reason is that the Church fears the influence of the image associated with it. It is difficult enough for the faithful to accept the notion of bodily resurrection after having seen a burial (knowing that the body will eventually decay in the ground). But the image of the whole body being consumed by flames and changing within a few minutes to ...

The difference between values and norms are also considered. It is demonstrated that values are always subjective and arbitrary meanwhile final justification i...

The spatio-temporal limitations of human existence can be considered a threat to the significance of our lifes. Ronald Dworkin proposes two competing models or metrics for the evaluation of our activities: the impact model and the challenge model. Using the first model involves assessing the contribution that an individual life brings to the objective value in the world, according to agent neutral and global standards. The second model is based on the assertion that our personal events, achievements and experiences can have ethical value even when they have no impact beyond the particularity o...

This article presents a theory of potentially universal aspects in the content of human values. Ten types of values are distinguished by their motivational goals. The theory also postulates a structure of relations among the value types, based on the conflicts and compatibilities experienced when pursuing them.

A new values instrument, based on the theory and suitable for cross-cultural research, is described. Evidence relevant for assessing the theory, from 97 samples in 44 countries,...

We constructed a theory of the universal types of values as criteria by viewing values as cognitive representations of three universal requirements: (a) biological needs, (b) interactional requirements for interpersonal coordination, and (c) societal demands for group welfare and survival. From these requirements, we have derived and presented conceptual and operational definitions for eight motivational domains of values: enjoyment, security, social power, achievement, sehxiirection, prosocial, restrictive conformity, and maturity. In addition, we have mapped values according to the interests...

public and private employment, but it is also right for the state to accommodate to a degree civil institutions that assign women a subordinate st atus or otherwise unfairly discriminate on the basis of gender, race, or sexual orientation. For example, churches that exclude the ordination of women are not legally prohibited, nor should they be. Even if such exclusions would not exist in a world of perfect gender justice, any effort to prohibit them would be indefensible. But the indefensibility of such a policy should not lead us to conclude that the state should avoid taking sides in the disp...

The so-called 'Asian values' perspective emerged during the 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union bloc and as a result of the rise of East Asian economies. Although no longer in general use, this concept still proves a useful reference point when considering the cultural relativism of human rights as a championing viewpoint and the premise upon which Asian countries (in particular those in East Asia) rely when defending their own values against the universalism of human rights, as well as a justification for the shortcomings of human rights practices. It refers to values which, distinct...

Since the early 1990s the Russian Federation has been trying to become a part of the Western educational system based on the liberal paradigm, and as a result it has abandoned its crucial func­tion, that of teaching pupils civic and national values. Amid the unfolding information war against Russia, it has become clear that schools and universities need to take up this mission to in­culcate the values of patriotism, civic duty, responsibility for the destiny of the country. Schools of tertiary education play a spe­cial role in shaping a critically minded person who upholds tra­ditional nationa...

In a globalizing world, the interaction between universal human values and religious beliefs becomes an important topic of discussion.

One emerging issue in contemporary human rights is whether it is logically correct to accept new realm of human rights as universally binding upon cultural rights arising from the moral and religious mores of every society, without more, and whether application of human rights should be relativized, at least in isolated circumstances. Discussing relativism of human rights within the framework of indigenous values, the paper took the position that a holistic application of recent realm of human rights universally in radically different societies would be counterproductive. Accordingly, the pape...

This essay argues that the dispute towards the universality of UDHR would likely form a robust standard and values of internationally recognized human rights as long as a cross-cultural and cross-philosophical talk could be...

The lack of academic religious studies in India has several causes: the choice of the secular University of London as model for the first universities in India in 1857, the secular constitution, the secularist approach of the first prime minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, and the explosive relation between major faith traditions. However, with the waning of the Indian secularist framework and the continued power and influence of Hindutva ideology, there is a need to discuss different models for religious studies in India. In this article, the point of departure is Banaras Hindu University (B...

Within any society, identity is constructed in the subjective process of culture. ...

Nandi Theunissen’s The Value of Humanity tackles the distinctively modern topic announced in its title – one most famously associated withKant’s moral philosophy – by providing an account that is explicitly inspired by the ancients. According to Theunissen, Plato and Aristotle held that what it is for anything to be good, or valuable, is for it stand in a relation of benefit to something. Theunissen’s book is an extended argument for the application of this general conception of value to human beings in particular. Theunissen thereby hopes to provide an alternative to the Kantian understanding...

Вочевидь, що суспільство переживає брак "духовних цінностей", таких як милосердя, співчуття, підтримка та взаємодопомога. На нашу думку, проблеми у сфері моралі загострюються через втрату розуміння людьми сенсу їх існування, життєвих орієнтацій на тлі недооцінених суспільства та стану наукової цінності, освіти, культури в період часу загальне і розвиток особистості, швидке зростання комерціалізації суспільного життя.
