On End-Value
Value is the last large word the SAE series have drawn on again and again without ever giving it a home. Power Theory says value lies in the direction; Economics measures the loss when end-value is coded into price; Rights Theory cuts standing from stake; the Moral Law sets the other as an end. One word carries one sense in each of four places, and the four have never been drawn onto a single figure.
Eight essays fill that gap. They begin by clearing the ground—five things value is not—and then raise the positive machinery: where value comes from, how it occurs and is recognized, how an outside end colonizes it, how it moves, what happens when two of them collide, and why another's value can resonate without ever being measured.
The clearing. Five caskets: price, direction, a price on the remainder, a ladder, each-to-their-own. One instrument only—the solitary subject.
Essay 01The positive machinery: the source-map, the two axes, the domain of bearers, and the bridge.
Essay 02One axis of occurrence — appearance, then first-person avowal — crossed by the axis of social recognition, which can give a public place and take it back, and can never claim on your behalf.
Essay 03Not outside influence deepened, but the constitutive place occupied by an external end. Three signatures, two branches, and the point past which no audit may go.
Essay 04Reachability, contents and the centre of gravity in time — with no motor anywhere, and every reading underdetermined from outside.
Essay 05One afternoon, two things each already avowed. Conflict falls on the actions, not on the standing — and yielding cannot do what withdrawal does.
Essay 06Cannot be read through, cannot be compared, cannot be merged — and none of the three entails living separate lives. Resonance happens exactly inside them.
ProspectStanding outside the seven: what kind of machine this is, where it parts from Kant, Scheler, Sen, Levinas and the rest, and what it stopped short of — registered in six slots, not all called remainder.
论目的价值
价值是 SAE 各系列反复调用而一直没有归处的最后一个大词。权力论说价在方向,经济学量目的价值被编码为价格时的损耗,权利论把份位与利害切开,道德律立他者为目的。同一个词在四处各驮一义,从未被并进一张图。
八篇补的就是这个洞。先清场——价值不是的五样东西——再立正面的机器:价值从哪里来,如何发生与被承认,如何被外来目的殖民,如何移动,两个价值构相撞时怎么办,以及他者的价值为什么可以共鸣却不能被量。
清场。五只椟:价格、方向、给余项标价、阶梯、各说各话。全篇只带一件工具——孤独主体:价值只需要一个主体和它自己的法,价格至少需要两个主体和一把公共尺。
第一篇正面机器:源图、两轴、承担域,以及 14DD 到 15DD 那道桥。有结构,不排序的完整陈述在这里。
第二篇一条发生轴:显现,然后第一人称认可。社会承认是横穿过来的另一根轴,能给出公共位置也能收回,唯独不能替谁认领。
第三篇殖民不是外来影响的加深,是构成位被一个外来目的占着。三项签名,两支,以及审计不可越过的那道上界。
第四篇可达、内容与重心在时间中的读数。这里没有一台马达,而所有读数在外面都是欠定的。
第五篇一个下午,两件各自已认领的事。冲突落在行动上,不落在地位上;而让办不到退出那件事。
第六篇读不尽,比不了,合不拢——而三条限界推不出「各活各的」。共鸣恰在这三条之内发生。
展望篇站到七篇之外:这是一台什么样的机器,它与康德、舍勒、森、列维纳斯诸支在哪一条线上分开,以及它停下的地方按六种身份分格登记。
