Abstract

The philosophical study of axiology provides us means and ways tojudge our value claims objectively and endow ourselves with a criticalframe of reference to reflect upon one’s own thought and actions, aswell as, persons, objects and situations around us. It helps us frameethics, rules governing individual and social conduct, as well as,aesthetics, concepts of beauty and harmony. Axiology gives us thenecessary freedom to explore our inner worlds of thoughts and beliefsand the emotions generated by such mental activity. The purpose is tofind right morality in our actions and conduct which is universallyjustifiable. The science of axiology had been shadowed by overrulinglogical positivism, but has seen revival in post modern culture ofphenomenology, evolutionary psychology and systems theory. In thecurrent essay, I have tried to reiterate values postulated by classicMuslim Sufism, well synthesized in Mathnavi Maulana Rumi
