Value commutes deriving from metaphysics and epistemology
Values are indoctrinated into people all their lives to the highest possible extent and helps them in character development. It is important that young people should maintain these values throughout adolescence in order to inculcate and establish appreciation for themselves and others alike by taking responsibility for the world around them and for their personal actions. Values have a deep impact on the behavior and attitude of a person and serve as extensive guiding principles under all circumstances.
A number of universal values are innovation, reliance, honesty, and justice and community involvement. Our values are subjective in nature and they vary due to our individual beliefs. There is a deep impact of a person's basic values on his/her understanding of the outside world. Values lead to ethics and the entire study is based on metaphysics and epistemology. Metaphysics is a faction of philosophy related with what there is in the universe and the nature of what exists. Epistemology is another related area concerned with knowledge and how people know things regarding the universe. (Younkins, 2003)
All of these notions are typically pointed at something and are integral to what they directed at. It is impossible to investigate Epistemology exclusive of knowing what there is which in turn metaphysics (the knowledge of all) is in itself. (Khan Academy, 2014) Words turn into perceptions; awareness entails the observable and knowledge necessitates a known; which happens to be of value derived from the philosophical basis of life. Epistemology helps in studying the relationship among the mind of a man i.e., his perception (his awareness) and reality i.e., the nature of the universe (its existence) and with the procedural maneuvering of reason. Metaphysics, on the other hand is the branch of philosophy that examines the nature of the total creation as an entirety. This implies that on one hand epistemology probes the elemental nature of knowledge comprising of its sources and justification. One's theory of perception verifies one's theory or awareness of value and ethics and one's hypothesis of knowledge inevitably comprises of a theory of perceptions. (Silverman, 2003)
The answers to all our questions can be derived from the study of what surrounds us and by utilizing that knowledge to answer every question ever imagined by the humans. The essence of all the knowledge derived gets transformed into value and gets transferred from one person to another since centuries till the present day. Such knowledge has created a base for numerous other fields.
