Even as modern knowledge systems emanate from the Enlightenment-induced epistemological binary of facts and values, its limitations are increasingly being debated across a range of academic disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. At present, scholars are more open towards an acknowledgement of the place of values, emotions and sentiments in relation to various apparatuses of human cognition and apperception. Not surprisingly, an engagement with values has made some kind of comeback in the human sciences. Such an engagement has the promise of re-energizing the current stock of disciplinary traditions of enquiry, and extending them to the hitherto marginalized areas of the phenomenal world. Given the potential scholarly pay-offs of the renewed appreciation of the alternative ways of producing knowledge, the special issue of the Journal of Human Values on Exploring Values: Interdisciplinary Perspectives brings together a set of well-researched essays on the central problematique of values.
