This paper examines the validity of the theory of values clarification (VC) from a philosophical perspective. The first two chapters present some ethical stances of VC such as “emotivism” and “virtue ethics,” and compare this theory with Kohlberg’s cognitive development theory, which accepts “autonomism” as its moral, philosophical standpoint. The next two chapters discuss the inseparable relationship between emotion and reason in moral judgment by considering Hume’s discussion in A Treatise of Human Nature. The last chapter emphasizes the importance of linguistic activities as indispensable elements in the valuing process, and presents a more persuasive model of the theory of VC.
