value

In Integral Relational Logic, value is the quality or quantity of an attribute of an entity in a class, as primal concepts. Formally, then, to value something is to specify its worth within some particular context, determined by its class. Values are thus closely associated with meaning.

ambivalence

Ambivalence was coined to mean ‘the coexistence in one person of contradictory emotions or attitudes, such as love and hatred, towards a person or thing’. Such ambivalent feelings can feel very uncomfortable, leading to indecision and so-called weakness as the opposites flip-flop in the mind. One way of dealing with ambivalence is to repress one or other of these opposites, pushing it into the unconscious, where it nevertheless continues to influence behaviour unless brought to the surface and carefully examined in the brilliant light of Consciousness.
