The quest for absolute values

Absolute values reflect the search for an identity of principles at work in man and his world. The unfolding of order in the human world permits a systematic ordering of absolute values as manifestations of three processes of integration—grounding, socialisation and individuation. Value dynamics thus becomes an integral aspect of the evolution of human consciousness and the human world : it forms the core of an internal (non-Darwinian) learning process of mankind as a whole and makes history a self-balancing order of process.
