The structure of values and norms

"Formal representations of values and norms are employed in several academic disciplines and specialties, such as economics, jurisprudence, decision theory, and social choice theory." "Sven Ove Hansson closely examines such foundational issues as how the values of wholes relate to the values of their parts, the connections between values and norms, how values can be decision-guiding, and the structure of normative codes. Models of changes in both preferences and norms are offered, as well as a new method to base the logic of norms on that of preferences."
