Abstract

A cursory thought on power and value might view the two concepts as having nothing to do with each other. But a deeper philosophical thought on the two concepts would reveal interesting relationships between the two concepts. Could political power endure for long if it is not anchored on some values? Could a value endure in a society if it is not anchored on some sort of power, political or transcendental? This unique but puzzling relationship is the focus of this work. Power is ultimately predicated on some values for the justification of its exercise. Values require some sort of force to become widespread, effectual and duly respected in the society
