When subjectivism rules, there are no longer good reasons for genuine reflection about life. It is necessary to distinguish the freedom to choose from the freedom to determine the value of one's choice. What is meaningful depends on the individual will. I am the master of which questions count. As Charles Taylor has underscored forcefully, under these conditions nothing is intrinsically meaningful.
Freedom is deprived of significance.
To state this more emphatically, freedom of choice has no meaning unless I am not the master of meaning. Each person is himself the master of meaning, the master of a meaning that paradoxically means nothing. If all choices are equal, I am not able rationally to justify the choice for liberty, equality, or democracy. Since opinions are equal, opinions hostile to liberty, equality, and democracy are worth the same as those that are favorable. Moreover, if opinions are equal, the opinion according to which opinions are unequal is worth the same as the opinion according to which opinions are equal.
