Re: What is Ethics?
Iintrinsic valuation connotes involvement, deep interest, commitment, unity, etc. It is (in theory and practice) a continuum between the valuer and what s/he is valuing. It is very close to what Husserl called 'Intentionality.' So it is not on/off. That is characteristic of Systemic Value. I-Value i...

STEPS TO VALUE CREATION
QUESTION: Do you have all the quality of life that you want? If the answer is “Yes,” my response is: “You’re happy?! Good luck to you.” If your answer is “No” or “Not yet,” I say, “Would you like to gain more value in your life?” If you would like that, you can do it. You have to create it. There is...

Re: The concept "Justice" defined and analyzed
... The highest form of justice is reconciliation or rehabilitation. [Vengeance is the lowest form.] To sum it all up, someone who cares, who has self-respect and enough sense to respect others, would focus upon the facilitating institutions and social arrangements so that human beings are not plac...

The concept "Justice" defined and analyzed
What is justice? I will offer my analysis here, and then I want to know what you think about it. Perhaps most Forum members can agree with me that justice is relevant to ethics , that the two concepts are closely related, that “morality without justice is blind, ” to paraphrase what Kant said on ano...

Re: The most basic application of the discipline of Ethics
Thank you, Voice of Time, for your very-constructive contribution to the topic. You are right on point ! Spot on. The United States could learn so much from Norway if we were not so ethnocentric at times. Forum members may consider getting in touch with the Dept. of Education, Secretary Arnie Duncan...

Re: Is there evidence for objective morality?
This is what I take you to be saying: 1) The fundamental moral nature of a human being is a disposition to be good. 2) This property essentially defines the "functional" nature of a human being, such that a perfectly functioning individual is a compassionate empathetic one. 3) Thus a good...

The most basic application of the discipline of Ethics
One of the most basic applications of theoretical Ethics - if not the most important of all - is Education ; Life Coaching {adult education}; and Therapy {remedial education.} If I claim that today we need to improve education , and provide more of it, this does not meet with controversy – especiall...

What do people yearn for today?
I’d really like to read your comments on this new approach to the ethical life. I am not claiming they are conscious of it, yet today people are hungry ... but they don't know what they are hungry for. However, when they see it, they want it! When they learn about continuous value creation, they kno...
