The article deals with the problem of the formation and development of axiology, the essence of the ՛value՛ in natural-social development. It should be noted that at present, in connection with the global spiritual and value crisis that humanity is experiencing at the turn of the epochs, axiological studies are becoming relevant.
The purpose of this article is to study the concept “value” and analyze the problems of axiology from ancient times to the present day on the basis of theoretical materials of various philosophers and sociologists.
