THE MODERN INTERPRETATION OF MORAL VALUES

Abstract

Moral values have always played a central role in human society, guiding behavior and shaping social norms. However, in the modern world characterized by globalization, technological development, and cultural diversity, traditional moral frameworks are increasingly reinterpreted. This article analyzes the transformation of moral values in contemporary society and examines the philosophical foundations of modern ethical thought. Through comparative analysis of classical and modern ethical theories, the study evaluates how moral concepts such as justice, responsibility, and dignity are understood today. The findings suggest that while core moral principles remain significant, their interpretation has become more pluralistic and context-dependent.
