THIS WEEK: The attribution of intrinsic value to material objects and abstract principles is a widespread practice that can not only be strongly argued to be erroneous, but also indicating a pre-suppositional error that reveals both; a radical misunderstanding of value, and how that misunderstanding can be rectified. That is, the understanding and ‘practice’ of value as ontologically subjective, rather than objective, offers a new direction for human existence. But can we apprehend and live this new direction?
