[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 3699179, member: 18280"] I would agree. But I think that this is because there are common subjective values that we hold as human beings. Likewise, while the criteria for maps may be subjective, we can say without fear that there are a number of commonly held criteria that impact the value of maps. Moreover, if we define a term, such as "maps", in such a way that it implies a particular use, any criteria that is objectively valuable for that use is objectively valuable for whatever that term describes. This would still saying nothing about the criteria of another order of intelligence re: literature, however. Perhaps one day we will meet an alien intelligence that will exalt the writings of high school poets. :lol: RC [/QUOTE]
