Evidence

It is either that an atheist agent denudes nature of intrinsic value or that a value-laden nature presupposes a believing subject; it cannot be both. — Wael Hallaq, Restating Orientalism, 497

Categorization

• QUESTION: Hallaq’s Law of Excluded Middle argument - is the dichotomy too clean? Could an atheist ground intrinsic value in non-theistic frameworks (e.g., biocentrism)?
• XREF: Parallels Charles Taylor’s argument about the immanent frame and how secular ethics must borrow from Judeo-Christian sources they disavow. — connects to: Biocentrism denies intrinsic value to nonliving landscapes — Val Plumwood, Feminism and the Mastery of Nature, 776
