Value making in financial and trading arrangements: of provocations and perspectival seeing

Strictly speaking, there is absolutely no science ‘without presuppositions’, the very idea is inconceivable, paralogical: a philosophy, a ‘belief’ must always exist first in order for science to derive from it a direction, a meaning, a limit, a method, a right of existence’

(Nietzsche, 1887:127, original emphasis)

We see a strange phenomenon occurring: what we practice is often not what we value and what we value is often not what we practice (and in saying this let us not forget that ‘practice’ means many diverse things: work, shopping, eating, filling forms, writing, taking the train, watching the telly, harvesting a crop, reading, struggling, changing nappies … and each and one of these involve direct or indirect relations to the ‘other’). Yet, anthropologists tell us, value is what guides our practices and the latter are in turn constituted by values. Could it be then that struggles are clashes among values and correspondent practices (value practices) and that what constitutes our daily existence is the front line, the battlefield?

(De Angelis, 2005:1)
