Universal values are theoretically existing moral values, a system of axiology, the content of which is not directly related to a specific historical period of the development of society or a specific ethnic tradition, but, being filled in each sociocultural tradition with its own specific meaning, is reproduced, however, in any type of culture as a value . (see also moral absolutism ) [1] .
Attitude to the concept ranges from the complete denial of the existence of such a thing as “universal human values” to the postulation of their specific list. One of the intermediate positions is, for example, the idea formulated by Francis Fukuyama that in the modern world, where no community of people exists in isolation from others, for a peaceful coexistence of cultures, some common value system is simply necessary [2] (however, the need for a common system values - does not mean the existence of this common value system).

Criticism
Doctor of Philosophy, Professor F. I. Girenok, argues that universal values do not exist, based on the arguments of the famous sociologist N. Ya. Danilevsky , that there have always been many diverse civilizations [3] .
