What is 'objective' value?
#51
RE: What is 'objective' value?
(January 12, 2016 at 4:50 am)robvalue Wrote: If something is "objectively valuable" because it has property X, then all you are saying is it has property X. Calling this objective value adds nothing of any practical use to the description.

I also don't care about gods subjective opinion about what is valuable, especially since I can't talk to him and must rely on others to explain it. His reasoning is what I would care about, not the fact that he is God. Again, if something is valuable simply because God gave it property X, then you're just saying God gave it property X. The additional descriptor adds nothing.

If something has objective value, then I'd like to know what this actually means, why I should remotely care about it, and how it can be measured.

If anything, it sounds like an oxymoron. Because value, by definition, is subject to the "valuer".
