For Husserl, no object is experienced as value-free.

Evidence

Everything that is touches our feelings; every existent is apperceived in a value-apperception and thereby awakens desirous attitudes … Mere sensation-data, and at a higher level, sensory objects, as things that are there for the subject, but there as value-free, are abstractions. Th ere is nothing that does not aff ect the emotions” (Husserl, Ms. — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre, 400

Categorization

• XREF: Connects to the chapter’s broader argument about Beauvoir and Sartre grounding value in bodily perception rather than pure reflection.
