Abstract

This chapter discusses time and value. The two main questions are: What is the time of value? and What is the value of time? The first main question splits into two: Does what has value always have a temporal location? and Does value itself have temporal location? The second main question asks whether temporal features are evaluatively relevant. The features discussed are duration, temporal order, life-periods, and tense. The kinds of value in focus are well-being, intrinsic value, final value, virtues, and moral value of persons.
