The branch of philosophy axiology comprises the sub-branches of ethics and aesthetics, each concerned with values.

Strong ethics keep corporations healthy. Poor ethics make companies sick. Values are the immune system of every organisation.
Patrick Dixon, in Building a Better Business (2005), p. 131

“I want to be good. I can’t bear the idea of my soul being hideous.”
“A very charming artistic basis for ethics, Dorian! I congratulate you on it.”
Oscar Wilde, Dorian and Lord Henry, The Picture of Dorian Gray, ch. 8, p. 82
Ethics
We have all learned to become sensitive to the physical environment … Perhaps fewer of us are sensitive to what we might call the moral or ethical environment. This is the surrounding climate of ideas about how to live. It determines what we find acceptable or unacceptable, admirable or contemptible. It determines our conception of when things are going well and when they are going badly.
Simon Blackburn, Being Good (2001)
