We, as philosopher and biologist, here present some preliminary explorations of values and norms of importance in the wolf‐man relationship. The presentation is centered around problems as we see them from the modern wolf range in Norway, where there should be a mhed community of sheep, wolves, and men. At present we have 3.2 million sheep, 4.1 million men, and 5–10 wolves. The wolves are confined to a small area containing small scattered sheep farms. The owners, with local approval, do not accept the wolves. What norms should be considered in the process of changing this wolf/sheep ratio slightly in favor of wolves? How can we work today for a viable population of wolves? This article presents some general principles and philosophical methods for discussion in the spheres of ethical attitudes and opinions in norm conflicts concerning wolves. Important is an understanding of the logical priority of the normative system, and the need for it in a systemic analysis. This should be used extensively as an analytic tool in the many intricate problems of wolf management, some of which go all the way down to the rock bottom of philosopby and political ideology.
