The Relationship Between Axiological Autonomy and Axiological Proficiency

Abstract

At society level, the quality of the educational-instructive process lies in its capacity to diversify its formative effects for each individual, to enable him to gain inner autonomy and act based on certain self-constructed norms.

The axiological competence is the fissionability of the subject to get closer to the artistic values, to internalize them and turn them into personal goods, but also to recommend them to the others. It consists of value marks to which cultural products relate to.

Such a skill is not only about assimilating some conventions or cultural criteria, but requires that capacity of seeking and discovering new relations between values, consisting of a valuable creativity.

Valuable criteria know a very high diversity, which means that there are things that have value only in the presence of the subject – here and now – and lost it when they are outside the space-time frame.

That’s why there’s required a permanent self-adjustment of the valuable criteria, in order to obtain maximum effectiveness of the value.

This can be achieved only in the conditions of axiological autonomy, that ensures the spiritual freedom of every individual to have access to values.

That doesn’t mean that if we are free, we must accept and take over everything, even if is not related to values such as: good, truth, beauty.

This paper tries to show what it means to be autonomous from the values perspective and which is the role of axiological autonomy in the context of axiological proficiency.
