Notes regarding WdW I, 73

1. This section does not appear in the NC.

2. There is no precedence in value of one aspect over another. Values philosophy is possible only on the immanence standpoint. Values philosophy absolutizes the normative aspects.

3. I have changed the word 'sluitstuk' [breech-block of a gun] to 'sluitsteen' [capstone]. the first word makes no sense in this context.

4. What does it mean that normative absolutizing in values philosophy is separated from the subject? I believe that this means that there can be no absolute values, because the subject must be is taken into account. There is a historical positivizing required for the law.
