Summary/Abstract: The article aims to demonstrate that values and norms are the basis for the establishment, functioning and evaluation of social institutions and activities undertaken by individuals performing certain roles. They act as transcendental assumptions of the functioning of the social world and are used as criteria for evaluating institutions, communities and individuals. They can and do play a causative role. The participants of social life are usually not aware of them. They are learnt empirically by the individuals sensitive to them or inferentially in scientific reflection, which adopts a holistic concept of experience.
