Single Idea 18667
[filed under theme 22. Metaethics / B. Value / 1. Nature of Value / a. Nature of value
]
Full Idea
The '-able' concepts, such as valuable, enviable, contemptible, wear on their sleeve the idea that the thing so evaluated merits or is worth a certain attitude or response (of valuing, envying, despising).
Gist of Idea
The '-able' concepts (like enviable) say this thing deserves a particular response
Source
Francesco Orsi (Value Theory [2015], 1.2)
Book Ref
Orsi,Francesco: 'Value Theory' [Bloomsbury 2015], p.5
A Reaction
Compare Idea 18666. Hence some concepts point to the source of value in the thing, and others point to the source of the value in the normative attitude of the speaker. Interesting.
