Il y a des objets qui se passent de nom:
12 Comments:
Does the entity have intrinsic vaule without a name?
Do you suppose that things have intrinsic value in the first place?
The image gives us an object that, I would imagine, we all immediately can say, has a name. Why portray something that has a name when talking of objects that do without names?
This before even thinking about how boats very often have the noun "boat" as well as individual names: "The African Queen."

The boat in the distance appears to have sails. The one in the foreground seems then more to lack. No sails, no oars, no anchor, no pilot, no compass. Is Magritte likening objets that do without names to such an ill-equipped objet? Where could it go? Can we speak of transport? What does it mean to "go"?
It's possible to think that all objets, in their objet-hood, in their realm before the name-bestowers came, do without names. It's also possible to think that the name-bestowers partake of that objet-hood, that namelessness; this too is part of their predicament.
If you ask me, I believe I have intrinsic value--with or without a name. But it is hard for me to beleive that a name can only be an external reference to a thing.
Sue isn't just a word to help identify this boy, it affects who I am.
I suppose, didymus, that I'm not sure what makes value "intrinsic." In a theological sense, I'm immediately ready to acknowledge that you (and the boat) have some sort of value in God's sight.
In a conversation with someone who does not share that confidence, though, but who believes in phenomena such as "inalienable rights" or "intrinsic value," I'm baffled. Whence some these inalienable rights (especially when it seems easy enough for powerful institutions to ignore them)? What makes a value "intrinsic" if there are some who do not recognize it?
"Sue" may affect your identity, may indeed "make you who you are" in some sense, but there's no intrinsic Sue-ness, so far as I can tell.
Tom, I think the predicament you identify gets to the heart of my interest in these matters. "Predica-ment," indeed.
Hi ! I am Julie. I love thinking about matters of consequence. These are things that adults like to talk about. Whether it be figures, or values, or other "serious matters."

I want people to recognize the existentialistic qualities of life. I tend my garden because I will be provided with good. We should help the people around us in order for us to have the best life!

the initial vegetable is pleasant,
when you work at it you can get a more matured result.
its also really easy to fuck up

caring too much
