About us
This group is for people with some background in philosophy who want to explore new ideas about human existence that focus on the concepts of consciousness and value as key to resolving the enigma of life. Yet everyone is welcome, interested inquirers, avid readers, outliers, undergraduates and professors of philosophy alike.

THIS WEEK: I argue that the fundamental problems of consciousness must be resolved in terms of value, as the will to value, leading to a certain independence or sufficiency of value. But what is a sufficiency of value? We can say that sufficiencies of value, are ‘value states’ like moral fortitude, magnanimity, love and self-esteem. But the concept of value itself is neglected, misunderstood and subject to superficial categories like family or even perspectival values. Can a phenomenology of the structures of consciousness and value provide a more explicit account and show how a sufficiency of value does resolve the fundamental problems of consciousness? Reading: The Pursuit of Value, Ch. 2, Scn. ix.
