Classifying Values

Much of Szostak, A Schema for Unifying Human Science (2003), was devoted to identifying particular

values, placing these within a handful of logical classes, and then illustrating how the literature on culture

could be understood in terms of causal relationships among these and other phenomena. The individual

values listed are generally subject to a fairly narrow range of interpretation. That is, societies may differ a

lot in their attitudes toward punctuality, but know what the concept means.
