ABSTRACT
Though the term „value‟ is of very common use in recent philosophy no less than in other spheres of our everyday life, yet it is one of those terms which have been the source of much misunderstanding. The reason is that value is of such a nature that any outlook on life and the universe involves some phase of it. Value from the realistic outlook will be different from value which ether the empirical or the idealistic outlook will mean by it. Again, the economist will take an entirely different view of it. In philosophic literature we come across other terms like „worth‟, „good‟, „excellence‟, „perfection‟, but
to avoid confusion we deem it wise to prefer the term „value‟ to cover „worth‟ and „good‟ and reserve the term „perfection‟ to mean consummation of all values.
In moral philosophy value is attached with morality. The domain of moral value is confined with the moral consideration of human being. When we say that a man ought to have done something different in the circumstances, we there by imply that the man is free to choose between two alternative courses of action. It is clearly the business of metaphysics or general philosophy to inform the moralist whether he has any real ground for making such an assumption as that of human freedom of choice. Such assumptions are called postulates. Ethics has to accept certain truths without any proof moral life will be impossible without this supposition. This paper will be an exposition of achieving moral destination of human being in the light of some Western thinkers and some Indian schools or philosophers.
