 A third constructivist alternative (see Merleau-Ponty 1945) frames the ideas of freedom, transcendence, and ambiguity as analogous to artistic expression. Freedom seeks to create value within the limitations of a given situation. On this view, the significance and value of things is not constituted in the free choices of agents, even when unconscious and non-deliberated; instead persons are born into a world already permeated with meaning, and freedom is exercised in this context. Moral agents take the world as a task to be completed, a task of instituting meaning and value wherever and whenever possible through action. To create value consists in actively taking up our situations of chance, making something out of contingency, establishing communicative relationships, and creating and recreating values by actively changing the world.
