First, how should we understand the experience of apprehending value? What faculties or capacities are involved? Is apprehending value to be understood in terms of perception, for example, and if so, what is involved in such moral or evaluative perception? Should we think of the apprehension of value in terms of affective experience, maintaining that our emotions or feelings or moods disclose value to us? Or perhaps we should understand such experiences in terms of a combination of these and/or other capacities?  

'Second, which factors might jeopardize the apprehension of value? That is, what might weaken our sensitivity to value or, perhaps, make us (temporarily) blind to it? For example, might the disengagement that typically accompanies philosophical and scientific inquiry jeopardize our openness to value? And can we understand affective phenomena, despite their purported importance for apprehending value, as potentially obscuring value as well?

Third, how can we cultivate our capacity or capacities for apprehending value? That is, are there ways to increase our sensitivity to value and if so, what are these? For example, what might be involved in a cultivation of perception in this regard, or an education of affectivity? Is there even such a thing as a cultivated sensitivity to value and, if so, how should we understand it?
