II 311
Values/Nozick: four types:
1. Intrinsic value
2. Instrumental value: is a function or a measure of the intrinsic value and leads to it.
>Expected benefit.
Something of instrumental value must not be intrinsically valuable itself.
>Benefit, >Intrinsic, >Extrinsic.
3. creative value: is a function of the value for something new that is introduced into the world - determinism denies creative values.
>Creativity
Free will: we understand it as it leads to significant differences in value. - Instrumental action: makes a difference, if it would stop, later intrinsic values would not occur. - E.g. a brush stroke - The brush stroke itself is not creative.
4. Contributors value: what causes the difference. - They are also allowed by determinism. Determinism does not allow creative values. - Soft determinism: contributing value is sufficient.
Fatalism: Allows no contributing values.
>Fatalism.
Contributing value is sufficient.
II 399
Moral pull/ethics/value/Nozick: my value fixes, what should come from you - Moral Push: Your value fixes, what I should meet with you.
II 453
Moral/Nozick: the moral basis is shared by all. So it seems to have nothing interesting to do with you. - It seems to be that we are searching for all values. - Then variant of the categorical imperative: "Do not kill values-seeking egos".
>Categorical Imperative.
II 415
Intrinsic values/ethics/Nozick: intrinsic values occur best with organic unit. - New values occur only in whole, in totalities.
II 562 f.
Values/ethics/Nozick: E.g. assuming there is a possible world without values, but with an organic unity (which is just as good).
>Possible worlds.
Then you could live as if there were values. - This suggests that the existence of values lies in their possibility. - We know what values would be, we just have to bring them to life. - That is not made valuable by something previous - (no circle). - Afterwards the choice is good - then values are not external.
II 565
External is: That we gain something through it - internal: connection to our motives.
>Motives, >Motivation, >Actions.
II 566
Then there are also different values: E.g. Nietzsche: revaluation.
>Values/Nietzsche, >Revaluation.
II 567
Values/facts/connections/Nozick: facts do not contain values - (otherwise naturalistic fallacy).
Connection: some facts (of organic unity) are identical with values.
Explanation: the relation is the organic unity. - Values are organically based on own facts.
>Facts.
