Abstract
In this article it is argued that an appropriate account of moral value, an account that avoids charges of subjective arbitrariness, preference manipulation, and species elitism, must view value as objective and relational. Objective values are those that exist independent of the affective states of sentient beings. In general, relational values are those that are conditional and come attached to groups or individuals.
