Abstract
The author presents an aspect of moral theology that deals with the dynamics of the judgment of values in the process of taking decisions. In the present purpose of seeking a common consense about minimal values, as a common basis for the dialogue about moral social responsibility, Bernard Lonergan makes explicit the basic dynamics of human behaviour which,being common to all, should make possible a way of
authenticity and positive moral realization that we seek. We find ourselves in the existential field of decisions. In a previous paper (Theologica Xaveriana 55/3, 463-476) the author exposed the dynamics of feelings and values as constituent of morality. As a complement, he deals now with the dynamics of the judgment of values in the process of taking decisions and of moral autotranscendence.
