[QUOTE="GrowingSmaller, post: 71993826, member: 261066"] Well value comes into the world via emotions, desires and needs. You need a meal, you feel hungry you desire a snack etc. Or you need an explanation, and that creates a "value" on what I am writing. So your world (bits of it like a snack or a internet forum) have value as you are a creature with feelings and needs. And also, being (existence) has value, you can value life as a whole and search to meet your needs etc. And meeting these needs like life. The logos (stemming from "logical" basically) part is reasoning and insight into this structure or form of being we all seem to share, and the techne (technique) is the craft or art of living well. Just as a plant needs water and light, also humans tend to have basic needs and also more complex ones. "Pistis" is a biblical word for faith, and connotes trust and also warrant. So because we have insight into a world that is to some degree orderly (the sun rises and sets, food nourishes, friendship rewards us emotionally etc.) we can develop faith and trust in a way of life and a system of ethics. And we have warrant in using it too, insofar as the world and our active relations to it are observed to regularly meet our needs etc. I am thinking of the idea of "uniformity in nature" allowing us to adjust with systems of ethics, and we can form a lifestyle utilising [I]habits or basically behavioural programmes (good manners, healthy living, social wisdom, caution, creativity, and experimentation may all work) - [/I]formed in relation to the predictability of the social and material world. And so come to trust and have faith (pistis) in our own skill (techne) and logic (reasoning skills), and ultimately to live a life that is of positive worth and value. [/QUOTE]
