ValuesWhy we need them although they don't exist /[electronic resource] :by Andreas Urs Sommer ; translated from the German by Paul Richards. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2024. - xii, 159 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. Existence Is Overrated. What Is a Value? -- 2. Even More. Where Do Values Come from? And How Many Are There? -- 3. Allure of the Temporary. How Is a Value? -- 4. The Power to Connect, the Power to Relativize. What Do Values Relate To? -- 5. At Home Nowhere and Everywhere. Where and When Are Values (in Use)? -- 6. Excursus I: Values and Human Rights -- 7. The Unstable Recovery Position. How Is a Value Positioned? -- 8. Miracles of Motivation and Guarantors of Paralysis. What Do Values Have? What Do They Do? -- 9. An Unruly Victim Tamed. What Things Are Done to Values? -- 10. Excursus II: Values in the Political Soap Opera -- 11. Against Prescriptions. Why Values?.

In his book, Andreas Urs Sommer reflects on the question of what it really means when everybody's appealing to values, all the time - the question, fundamentally, of what values actually are. Values explores both of these points, arriving at two intriguing suggestions: Maybe what we call values are just a set of elaborate fictions. And maybe those fictions serve some very important purposes.
