Statement: “This world is neither good nor evil; each person manufactures a world for himself.” Conclusions: I) Some people find this world quite good. II) Some people find this world quite bad.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: If both Conclusions I and II follow

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:The statement asserts moral/experiential subjectivity: the world is not inherently good or evil; individuals construe it for themselves. We test whether positive and negative individual appraisals both follow.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • No absolute moral valence is assigned to the world.
  • Perception is person-dependent (“manufactures a world”).

Concept / Approach:If valuation is subjective, diverse evaluations—including “good” and “bad”—naturally occur across individuals. Therefore, I and II both follow as existential claims (“some people…”).

Step-by-Step Solution:1) From subjectivity, infer existence of differing views.2) Positive appraisals (I) and negative appraisals (II) are both compatible and likely.

Verification / Alternative check:The statement would be incoherent if only one valence were allowed; acknowledging both preserves the claim of subjectivity.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Selecting only one valence or neither contradicts the explicit subjectivity premise.

Common Pitfalls:Reading the aphorism as denying all judgments, when it actually relocates judgment to the perceiver.

Final Answer:Both conclusions follow.
