"Not every philosophical view presupposes that there are objective values or
objectively true "ought" statements, with the only question being how these
connect to other facts. One view, nihilism, holds that there are no objective
values at all; no ethical truths hold apart from our opinions. Closely related
are various subjectivist or relativist positions which hold that thinking or
agreeing makes it so, or that ethical statements simply are expressions of
emotions or preference having no independent objective true content.
Value or preciousness of persons has a duel role in my interpersonal
actions...My value fixes what behavior should flow from me; your value fixes
what behavior should flow toward you."
(Robert Nozick, Philosophical Explanations, p. 400)
