The author aims at a logical, philosophical and unifiedtreatment of man's
complex values and value experience that are distinguished attheir successive
dimensions, orders or stages of human adjustment. He isconcerned with both the
roots and the flowering of the value system, with thedemands of finite human
nature and with those deriving from its profoundaffinities with the infinite. If
is from man's total context, human andultra-human, that he selects and orders
his hierarchy of goals and values.
