Is it possible not to attach a value to an entity?

Answer 1

An American woman sold the ghost of her father on eBay for about £3000 so yes it's possible. There are a lot of gullible people out there.

Answer 2

First we should know at what kind of entity we reffer to: the entity of an item, the entity of a being, or the enitity of an ideea.

In the first case, the entity of an item, we can attach a value to it conciously - that is, if we know the purpose of that item and we recognise that purpose. Also the value attached to an entity is different from different points of view. The value attached to a pencil by an animal is not the same as the value attached by a human. Correlative, the value attached by another object to the pencil is non existent, as an object does not have conciousness.

A being comes granted with a value - we define human beings by their values (either vices or virtues) : even the mere fact that it is a life is a value. Even the most unknown specie of beings has this value, while the known ones are defined, that is, have an 'official' value.

The entity of an ideea is itself a value, as an ideea is the basis of its own definition. Even the simplest concept has its own value encrusted in it.

But all of this views depends differing on the point of view. As the beings are subjective while the items are objective. So, from a subjective point of view, we have to attach a value to an entity, while from an objective point of view, the items are not aware of the existence of the entity, and so they would not attach a value to the entity.

In conclusion, to attach a value to an entity, you must first be aware of that entity existence.

Answer 3

I don't believe so. The very fact that you designate it as an entity is already a value assignment. By assigning an identity to something, you are distinguishing it from the rest of your experience, from the rest of the universe. Even something as simple as a the concept of a 'fork', for example, entails that I have distinguished that object from all my senses perceived and assigned it a value as a particular object. It is furthermore very difficult to distinguish entities in this manner without associating with them rapports with other entities in the world. I think 'fork' and I automatically knows it is used to pick up pieces of food and bring them to my mouth.

Answer 4

wow - great question.

I think if you consider the entity then it already has a value as you are giving it one by acknowledging its existance. so the only way you couldn't attach a value to an entity is if you didn't know it existed.

Answer 5

No. Even if we say an entity has no value that's still judging its worth & giving it a value of zero.

Answer 6

Define entity and value or we can't answer that in an accurate context.

Answer 7

Interesting question. Our entire world is composed of secondary value; what we build upon the 'given' and mistakenly believe we have created in the absence of the God-given. But true value is freely given and freely received, something we find extremely difficult to do.

Answer 8

zero. it's an entity with no value.

Answer 9

If you know it exists you have already put a value on it.
As we all put a value on everything from our own points of view.
EXAMPLE: Value of dogs To me High To you Nothing
I LOVE them You HATE them

So Id Say its IMPOSSIBLE!

Answer 10

No, you must assign some value to it in order to be worthy of your consideration. You cannot think of anything that cannot be considered.
