THIS WEEK: This inquiry into the question of human existence as consciousness has led to an answer in terms of value and the affirmation or will to value, leading to a certain sufficiency or quality of value. Heidegger and Sartre have pointed to the co-existence of consciousness and value. Nozick spoke about valuing of values. McGilchrist now speaks of “The Value of Value”. But is this only stating the importance of value in our lives, rather than an account the value of value, the will to value, or an affirmation of value as an internal process within consciousness? Reading: The Pursuit of Value, Ch. 7, Scn. vii.
