20181114 From the ground to the sky.       St. Aposteln Cologne/Germany


Nebel versprühen Medien,
Trüben Deinen Blick,
Verpesten Hirn und Herz;
Gemeindrang eilt,
Den faulen Zauber zu vertreiben,
Das ist der Weisheit letzter Schluß:
Nur der verdient sich Freiheit wie das Leben,
Der täglich aufwachen und sie erkämpfen muß.
(…)

(frei nach Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust II. Teil)

Information:

Commensurability in ethics means the concept that all values ​​can be compared. In contrast, incommensurability indicates that some values ​​are incomparable.

Classically, a trichotomy of comparison operations assumes values ​​that express all relationships between values. One value may be „better,“ „worse,“ or „equal“ to another value. To invalidate the arguments for incommensurability, the trichotomy thesis is rejected by some authors. You add a fourth operator, such as „roughly equal“ or „on a par.“ For certain ethical theories, such as utilitarianism, commensurability is a mandatory requirement.
