Excerpt from A Study in the Theory of Value
The thesis which I wish to defend in the present essay is a very common one, believed, I think, by most people, but usually only approximately and only half-heartedly, and expressed vaguely if expressed at all. Some such belief is in fact present whenever we reflect upon acts that stir our interest; but the belief baldly expressed in propositions sounds fanciful or weak or sentimental, and we avoid pronouncing it clearly in much the same way as that in which we hurry over an expression in an unfamiliar language - partly from modesty, but. Mostly from fear of appearing ridiculous and from inner conviction Of ignorance. Our belief, in other words, not Only seems to us sentimental and weak when we approach the formulation of it in a creed, but it actually is sentimental and weak when thus formulated, and this for the reason that we have not taken the trouble to make the formulation accurate or definite. On the one hand we are afraid of seeming. Sentimental; on the other hand we do not know what our belief really is, nor what definite formula embodying it will stand the test of logical criticism.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This philosophical text examines the nature of value, proposing that all value judgments ultimately imply the existence of aesthetic and ethical values. The author argues that the concept of value pervades human activity, from the most basic economic decisions to the appreciation of art and the pursuit of moral ideals. Through an analysis of personal experiences and logical reasoning, the book explores the distinction between value as a psychological response and value as a property inherent in objects. It challenges traditional dichotomies between different types of value, contending that both aesthetic and ethical values share a common ground and possess a similarly objective status in reality. This book offers a compelling framework for understanding the role of value in human experience and the interconnectedness of our various pursuits. By illuminating the nature of value, it sheds light on the fundamental questions that guide our actions and shape our understanding of the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
