THE HUMAN IN THE WORLD OF ABSOLUTE AND RELATIVE VALUES OR NIHILISM AND CYNICISM
Journal Title: Філософські обрії - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 39
Abstract
The article reveals the peculiarity of human existence depending on the attitude to values. The presence in the world of absolute values generates the desire to follow higher ideals, the desire to achieve perfection. Staying in the world of relative values becomes the reason for the formation of selfish inclinations. If a person refuses to give up values, and becomes a nihilist, then it forms a need for violence. When he is inclined to cynicism, he denies any values, focuses on achieving only his own well-being and does not hide his intentions. Understanding what values are values is important, because the existence of a person is a follow-up to the conceivable and the giving of its significance. Accordingly, any action and act presupposes the appropriation of a certain value. There is no doubt that the existence of man depends on the values that are accepted. Absolute values turn out to be the most favorable for achieving perfection, because when you follow it, a person becomes confident and calm, regardless of the circumstances. Assignment of relative values, such as pleasure, blessing, success, etc., provokes aggression against representatives of other peoples, nationalities, collectives and individuals. Nihilism assumes an uninterrupted search for new values, which ends the attribution of a person to the highest value, and, at the same time, the assumption of violence against him. And, finally, cynicism is expressed in the rejection of values, which leads to moral degradation.
