Synopsis
This provocative book argues that people are naturally endowed with the ability to speak an articulate language and to form a culture. Language and cultural life require self-appraisal, and hence an evolution--through self-conflict--of desires into values. Nerlich demonstrates that this valuing is a natural process, one that underlies the morals of duty and obligation. He concludes that such valuing will be good only if it results in objective values that are authentic to the individual's nature and surrounding culture.

From the Back Cover
Valuing is a natural process for persons. It underlies the morals of duty and obligation, which can be understood only after valuing is explained. This is the central moral claim of the book. Normal human animals are naturally endowed with certain attributes for being persons, speakers of an articulate language living in a culture.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Nerlich argues that normal human animals are naturally endowed with certain attributes for being persons, speakers of an articulate language living in a culture. Language and cultural life require self-appraisal, and hence an evolution, through self-conflict, of desires into values. Thus valuing is seen as a natural process for persons, one which underlies the morals of duty and obligation. Valuing will be good only if it results in values which are authentic tothe individual`s nature and to the surrounding culture, and which are objective. In taking the process of valuing different situations as natural as speaking and living culturally, the author believes that it will lead to self-evaluation and recognizing what an individual really desires.
