Re: proving values



Michael,

As for my current interest in whether or not values can be "logically 
debated" I am more interested in that horrible, classic idea of logic.  
(Which probably opens me up to many critiques/kritiks...)  BUT, I am 
willing to loosen this constraint up if you think that you can show how 
in a "new enlightened logic system" values could be "logically" debated 
(both with an explanation and with example arguments)...  (Or for that 
matter anyone else who subscribes to new logic systems as a way of 
avoiding my problems with value debate.)

Chat,
