Abstract
The article presents notions and issues concerning socio-economic development in an axiological
perspective. Their presentation is limited to those the present author considers valid, and ignores their wider
context as expounded in the various theories of socio-economic development.
Underlying the axiological approach to socio-economic development is the opinion that the character of and
research on socio-economic development are not neutral axiologically because values are an inherent component
of human activity; they stimulate it and give it a direction. The knowledge concerning human activity makes use
of evaluative concepts and judgements.
The article discusses: (1) the concept of socio-economic development, (2) basic axiological notions, and (3)
axiological problems of socio-economic development.
