It contradicts some forms of Nihilism, the ones that state value is illusory, some however acknowledge subjective value and then precede in ignoring it - I see it ultimately as a futile all-or-nothing philosophy.
I would agree with that.
I would say that value is entirely subjective, but is nihilism not right to disregard it? As a philosophy I mean.
And what do you mean by "all-or-nothing philosophy"?
