Value and Form

While Noumenon-Phenomenon is the explicit fundamental dualism in Kant's system, the implicit one is Form vs. Matter, in which Noumenal Causality is Formal.  But, neo-Kantian Epiphenomenalism misses how a non-Noumenon can function as a Formal Cause, e. g. any sequence of instructions.  Hence, it does not consider the function of Value as a Formal Cause, e. g. in guiding behavior in one direction as opposed to another.  In contrast, the approval of the Past treats it as Matter for potential Future actions, e. g. lemons for lemonade, in the popular saying.  In other words, for Nietzsche, Value is an expression of the Formal Causality of the Will to Power, even when it is functioning as a weapon in Slave Morality.  Notably also missing that function of Value is Moore, who recognizes neither that the Good is a Form for Plato, nor that the deficiency of Utilitarianism is the Form-lessness of General Happiness.  So, he instead reduces the Fact-Value distinction to a question-begging Natural vs. non-Natural contemporaneous contrast.  But because he also characterizes Good as 'undefinable', among those influenced by him, the distinction has typically reverted to an Epiphenomenal, i. e. merely linguistic, exercise.
