Chicken or the egg
Joash notes (p.90) Kant's philosophy, which states that individuals perform specific actions "value" without the assumption of objectives that guide a future state only after "the collapse of ethics and purpose of goods." Scheler further extends this philosophical statement which claims that this final state already exists in individuals and, as such, is performing well reflecting the state of mechanical knowledge. Both comments perceptive directing the thoughts of the audience expected for the position that each individual has an innate propensity to extend "ethical" actions that are only suppressed by mental interpretations of situational events. On the contrary, it can be concluded that the perception of objectives, in fact, guide our actions and govern our actions, which, in turn, affect the mechanical state of our non-cognitive.
Similar to the old question: "And 'came first the chicken or the egg?" We are in a perpetual cycle observing system affects catalyst that promotes the movement. Perhaps the closest analogy applicable lies in the phrase "are leaders born or made?" On the face you see a choice of option A or B. Looking deeper into this question we can apply the cyclical theory of deduction affirming leaders are born, but through Constant Void influences are made.
