Absolutism and Dehumanization

Thu, Jul 26, 2007 at 2:02 pm Posted in Deep Thoughts

Value ascribed to a person is limited in the range of agreement to the propositions rendered true by the subject. A false proposition according to these norms rendered by the subject is cast into the very identity of the other as other and so makes them as object without a valued individuality as an other. Absolutism is therefore inherently dehumanizing since it limits the field of being in which an other is capable of receiving the good according to the necessary norms rendered as Truth by the subject.
