Migrating into net.philosophy (random glitch willing): >From: mck@ratex.UUCP (Daniel Kian Mc Kiernan) >When you refer to 'An ethically subjective approach to >values', I initially take that to entail a notion that values >have no existence EXCEPT to the valuer. What you may mean to say is that >values do not have an existence INDEPENDENT of the valuer. [...] >If you >say that no values exist independent of the valuer, then you say that there >is no objective code of priorities -- no objective code of ethics. (The adverb "ethically" would have been misleading if I had intended the first interpretation.) The conclusion is a non sequitur; the observer of the valuer (at least in this case) is a valuer (of a specific kind) as well. David Hudson
