I am writing this out to see how much sense once I see it written down. It is an idea of Nietzsche's.

Through time all philosophers have been trying to create a reality in which to live. The basis for all their philosophies is ethics. It is through the application of ethics that philosophers describe how the world is to be viewed. They define what has value and by defining what has value they also define what is not of value. Once their values have been accepted it is their reality in which one lives.

So what happens if each person instead of relying on someone else to provide those values creates them their selves. Would we see a great difference in the values that people come to or would people generally come to about the same conclusions. Would their be a consensus on certain base values or would they be wildly different.
