Abstract: The current research aims to independently deduce an elementary axiology in order to then theorize an ideal „axiocratic” world, where values have power, instead of power having value. We proceed with a transcendental deduction of values from an initial understanding of deontic judgments, then we continue with an ontological deduction of values such as we find them in the metaphysical tradition as the truth, the good and the beautiful. The second section of this approach interogates freedom in its capacity of accepting or refusing values. In order for values to enter the world we need a transcendental schematism of freedom. Although freedom is elective, without values freedom is blind and has really no ultimate ground for discriminating between alternatives. This is why we close our deduction by redefinind values as criterium libertatis.
