Example Sentences
- "Since Candrakīrti’s Supplement Commentary says “objects of perceivers of falsities are concealer-truths,” an object found by a conventional valid cognizer is also stated as a positor of concealer-truth."
- "This, indeed, is the “most extreme” nihilism; it “places the value of things precisely in that no reality corresponds or corresponded to them, that, instead, they are only a symptom of force on the part of the positors of value [Wert-Ansetzer], a simplification for the sake of life [zum Zweck des Lebens].”"
- "Sartre believes that human beings have radical freedom, the liberty to construct ourselves individually and to define collectively what it means to be human, apart from any divine being or God who might determine human nature. For Sartre, this radical freedom reveals our anguish: since we are the positors of meanings and values yet without any ultimate ontological or metaphysical grounds for justification, we find ourselves in anguish, weighed down by angst over our moral choices and their lack of resolution."
