Robert S. Hartman had this vision:

"Just as today's mathematics is the language of natural science, Axiology will then be the language of value science. The categories of Axiology can be applied to anything; anything from the lowest to the highest can be valued in all 3 processes, systemically, extrinsically and intrinsically. We must let it be known that we have the opportunity to live in 3 worlds, the systemic world of rules, the social world of the senses, and the moral or spiritual world of our inner selves, therein to live balanced, meaningful lives."

The Robert S. Hartman Institute is committed To collect, compile, preserve and protect in unity and solidarity information concerning and related to formal and applied axiological value foundations and legacy (value theory) of Robert S. Hartman. The Institute and the study of Axiology would not be where it is today without the contributions and dedication of the forefathers of Axiology:
