Axiological ethics

In philosophy, axiological ethics is concerned with the values by which people uphold ethical standards, and the investigation and development of theories of ethical behaviour. Axiological ethics investigates and questions what the intellectual bases for a system of values are. Axiological ethics explores the justifications for value systems, and examines if there exists an objective justification, beyond arbitrary personal preference, for the existence and practise of a given value system. Moreover, although axiological ethics are a subfield of ethical philosophy, axiological investigation usually includes epistemology and value theory.
