What is value? How can we know its essence and fulfil it properly? This paper attempts to provide an answer to this fundamental question of society. On the other hand, the concept of design tends to be discussed within the limited field of engineering and manufacturing, even though it is a very widespread and common thought in society, with the aim of satisfying values. The essence of science is to reveal the truth of events and to organise and systematise the results. On the other hand, the production of artifacts that do not exist in nature is different from this, and is done with the idea of design, which acknowledges the possibility of error. In other words, the purpose of design is not to reveal events, but to realise them. As a result, design education in accordance with this meaning is unfortunately neither developed nor provided sufficiently in engineering education, where the emphasis is on science. This is also the reason why the subject of values has been kept away from engineering and avoided. This paper points out the existence of this contradiction and the importance of its solution from an engineering standpoint, and is written in the hope that this discussion will spread throughout society.
