Synopsis
Answering the simplest questions satisfactorily often poses the greatest challenge and difficulty to philosophers. Since these questions concern principles underlying our everyday conduct, the inability to provide convincing answers can be exceedingly frustrating. When, during a career of teaching, John T. Goldthwait was asked by his students "Why is that good?" - in regard to art and to conduct - he realized he had no answer that would satisfy his students and himself. And so, his effort to answer his students became a journey through the concept of value judgments, resulting in his book, Value, Language, and Life. What is value? What makes things good? Value, Language, and Life presents a new answer to these age-old questions through Goldthwait's adaptation of linguistic analysis and phenomenological methodology. By examining our everyday experience and use of language, he arrives at a knowledge of value that can be applied in solving problems and reconciling disputes about value. This unique approach enables us to place ethics, aesthetics, and other fields in which value is prominent on a single foundation., What is value? What makes things good? This book presents a different answer to these age-old questions through the author's adaptation of linguistic analysis and phenomenological methodology., Answering the simplest questions satisfactorily often poses the greatest challenge and difficulty to philosophers.

The set of books packed very well and were in pristine condition. They came better than described. They were listed as very good, but are like new. I couldn't be happier. I would certainly buy from this seller again. This was a great value for the price. Thank you so much!!

The book sadly did not come with a dust cover I expected, but after contacting the seller and asking if they maybe forgot it or could find it lying around somewhere, they refunded me half of the price for the inconvenience. Extremely helpful and kind customer service. Thank you Nick!ONE PIECE All Faces Collector's Edition Volume 1 (#335866885387)
