The weekly topic is posted a week before the event, together with a suggested reading from my work The Pursuit of Value, available through Amazon Books or myself. Transcripts of the Youtube presentation are available by email.
THIS WEEK: The assignment 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 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 that can be illuminated by a comparison and contrast of intrinsic value with the ‘value state’ of ‘value sufficiency’. Reading, The Pursuit of Value: Ch. 2, Scn. ix.
