Summary:

What is value? Where does it come from? How does it impact our emotions, motivations, decisions, and experiences? Value is involved in practically every aspect of human life: when we decide whom to marry or which political candidate to elect, when we choose between consumer goods, when we ask ourselves what is morally right, or beautiful, or sacred, value plays a crucial role. Today the investigation of value is central to many disciplines interested in human thinking, feeling, and behavior, including economics, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and sociology. Interestingly, while these disciplines all investigate value, they use different definitions and focus on different aspects of the phenomenon. Handbook of Value combines the forces of the many disciplines involved in value research, by integrating the perspectives of distinguished scholars from the different disciplines. To allow for a high degree of interdisciplinarity, the editors assembled a panel of eminent associate editors representing the different disciplines: Professor Ernst Fehr (economics), Professor Patrik Vuilleumier (neuroscience), Professor Julien Deonna (philosophy), and Professor Fabrice Clement (sociology). Contributions cover conceptual issues such as definitions of value, psychological and neurological mechanisms underlying value computation and representation, types and taxonomies of value, interindividual and intercultural value differences, the role of value in emotion, moral judgment, decision-making, and behavior, as well as case studies of individual varieties of value. The volume contributes to an interdisciplinary dialogue and integration by providing a common reference point that may serve as a resource for disciplinary excellence and interdisciplinary cross-fertilization. The volume also provides an excellent overview of the academic state of the art for more practically oriented readers, for example from a business background, who want to understand the determinants of value.
