This is good information for my reading

This has feng shui (specifically Wu Xing) involved, . In the application of the the elements vis a vis a human personality, one has to conclude that we will meet people in our lives and some will be more active and fighter spirit, some more laid back, others more emotional, some talkative, others less and yet others practical, cold (or calculating). The next stage would be to find a way to know other's people's intentions without having them speak their minds. Aforeknowledge if you will.

[JesseNickelltheFourth]

Value depends on context, one thing may be valuable in one context in another, and often it's the case that the only value something has is merely imposed on the object by the mind of the observer, and that person was conditioned to believe that that certain something has value, when in reality the value is not there, it is merely be created within the mind of the individual(the observer).

[SimeonDenk]

I would think it is uncontroversial to say that nothing has intrinsic value, and that valuing is a function of a mind. So, value is something that is externally imposed, and subsequently, tending to be perpetually in flux.

[groupspace]

Values depend on the fullfilment of properties that define a concept: "Something is good inasmuch it fullfils the meaning of its concept" - Robert S. Hartman, Scientific Axiology: Vx = 2n – 1 (n is a power, and it represents the number of properties)

[Jypr]

Where are you getting these definitions and delineations from?

[Blazer]

Hey! What about value theory regarding economics? I mean, where would you put what Marx or Adam Smith say about value? In which of the senses it would go? Axiology, Value Theory or Theory of Value?

[rossellmanuel]

labor is not the only value; the value also includes what buyers offer for the commodity or service in the market. that is why a bad bunny concert is worth more than teaching one year in public school

Hey dude what is aquinas theory on value?

[meme-ptop]

Value is assigned largely by emotional investment and perceived payoff.

Lower expectations or cast longer shadows. Value emotion!

Exchange Philosophical | A Contribution to the Theory of Value: The Survival Principle of Economics

"Humanity is positioned into its life process, and survival is the first imperative of this experience. Every individual member of the human species possesses an innate desire to survive. The Desire to Survive is the Will to Life. The psychological and physiological disposition of the human species are related to survival. In order to establish the determinant criteria for value we must first accept the fact that survival is the primordial objective demand of humanity. The concept of value must first be assessed in the context of survival. Survival is the only context in which we may objectively analyze the concept of value and the activity of exchange. From this point, starting with first principles, we may definitively establish the substantial foundation on which exchange is facilitated and value is derived."

The 12 Aspects of Value

I am one who ascribes to the subjective theory of value

[sethapex]

You talk about value and litterally use money symbols to represent it but fail to even mention the application of the concept of value in economics.

[alwaysgreatusa]

Value Theory, Theory of Value, Axiology... Theory of Axiology, Value of Axiology, Axiology of Theory, Axiology of Value, Theory Value..
The death of clear thought by diabolical distinction !

[clarkwayne]

Is it just me or the letters are really moving when I'm staring?

[josuejumalon]

There is no value without consciousness.

[alwaysgreatusa]

It is a fundamental.mistake to presupposes that values are radically different in kind from facts in general -- as if no values actually existed in reality, as if no values were ever realized and brought into existence by the efforts of mankind !

[kravitzn]

There's no "correct" axiology. No The Axiology, but only axiologies.

[EmmanAdventures]

A waste of 5 minutes. It is faster to google the definition.
