'''Axiology''' (from [[Greek]] ἀξιᾱ, axiā, "value, worth"; and -λογία, -logia) is the study of [[quality]] or [[value]]. It is often taken to include [[ethics]] and [[aesthetics]][1] — philosophical fields that depend crucially on notions of [[value]] — and sometimes it is held to lay the groundwork for these fields, and thus to be similar to value theory and meta-ethics. The term was first used in the early 20th century by Paul Lapie and E. Von Hartmann.[2]
One area in which [[research]] continues to be pursued is so-called [[formal]] axiology, or the attempt to lay out principles regarding value with [[mathematics|mathematical]] rigor.
The term is also used sometimes for [[economic]] value.
