210 • VALUATION

VALUATION. 1. The act of valuing an object or  state of affairs; 2. the

value or worth attributed to the object in valuing it. See also VALUEAPPERCEPTION.

VALUE. 1. The activity of apprehending an object or  state of affairs as

valuable, that is, taking something to be pleasing or painful, likeable or 

dislikable, good or bad; 2. the object apprehended in a value appercep-

tion. See also VALUATION.

VALUE APPERCEPTION (Wertnehmung) . Taking something as valuable.

Husserl uses the term Wertnehmung analogously to Wahrnehmung (perception). In perception and the belief-modality that belongs to it, the

subject takes the object to exist in a determinate manner and believes that

taking to be true. Hence, the subject takes S as  p as true. Similarly, in a

value apperception, the subject takes—and believes— S  to be valuable;

the subject takes Sp as v. This formalized way of stating the objects of 

 perception and value apperception reveals the important founding relation

 between them. Husserl claims both that values (that is, valued objects) are

constituted in feeling-acts or emotions and that this feeling-act (and the

value sense it constitutes) are founded on a presentation (and the cogni-

tive sense it constitutes). In the example, therefore, there is a underlying

 presentation that constitutes the sense ‘S as p’ and founded upon this is the

value apperception constituting the sense ‘Sp as v.’ The value attribute

is founded on the descriptive proper ty available to a pure cognition, but

the value attribute itself is not available to pure cognition. It is disclosed

 by a fee ling or emotion. The value apperception is a unified act; it does

not arise separately from the objectifying presentation. The founding

relationship, however, is one-sided such that the objectifying presentationcan occur separately from the feeling or emotion that constitutes the value

apperception. See also CONSTITUTION; FOUNDATION; FOUNDED

MOM ENT; FOUNDING MOMENT; OBJECTIFYING ACT.

VALUE ATTRIBUTE. The goodness (or badness) of a valued (or dis-

valued) object. The attribute will be specified accord ing to the type of 

value involved (aesthetic, utilitarian, moral), the underlying descriptive

features o f the o bject that make the object valuable, and the kind of 

feeling or  emotion involved in the valuation of the object. See alsoVALUE APPERCEPTION; VALUE JUDGMENT.

VALUE JUDGMENT. The explicit articulation of the value attribute of an

object as belonging to the object. The value judgment is founded upon
