Abstract

In this paper, Marcos Gojman presents the need to have a system of value calcula- tions, a value calculus. He analyzes Hartman’s method of value calculation as pre- sented in The Structure of Value based on the math of Set Theory. He questions Hartman’s use of a mathematical tool to solve axiological problems. He presents the formal order of the axiological compositions used in the Hartman Value Profile and its grading chart as the only tools that have been empirically validated for value calculations. He then presents his new system of value calculation that can be ap- plied to any set of axiological compositions and transpositions.
