The Studies1. In our EXPERIENCE, the good appears as an
ANALOGOUS concept to the various grades of beings.
(Analogous – means similar or comparable)

2. In different aspects:• The good as Perfective of a subject is object of
desire. (Thing-to-person Relation)
• The good as Perfect in itself is object of love (Person-to-person Relation)
• A good becomes a value to a person if it is freely chosen
Hence, value is not identical with good but is an added aspect of the good..
