Values

שו”תCategory: moralValues
asked 2 years ago

1) Is there a person who can live without values ​​or does every person necessarily have values ​​(such as the value of life)?
2) Most values ​​in humans are a product of the environment and social psychology (especially among secular people). So how is the value of fairness actually different from the value of serving God, and are my beliefs not a factor influencing my values? And if so, then doesn’t that mean that if one of my beliefs is challenged, so are my values?
3) What is the difference between a value and a supreme value and its connection to desire?
 
Sorry for the digging. Thank you very much.

1. I don’t know. There are psychopaths who may live without a partner. 2. I didn’t understand the question. Any value that is a deterministic product of some external factor is not a value. But it’s not true that all values ​​are like that.

“Any value that is a deterministic product of some external factor is not a value”
So the Rabbi is a moral relativist, because a categorical imperative dictates that there are external values.

Wow. How did you jump to that absurd conclusion?
