As a theologian I am much reminded of Feuerbach's critique of religion as an alienated human construction by the last quotation whereby values seem to be reified facticity that stands over and beyond the human beings who created them. This view of values also has similarities with some ideas about conscience that see it as having a power and reality that lies almost outside the control of the individual and makes demands upon him or her. The reified demands of conscience derive their authority and power from within not from outside the agent, albeit that the agent has internalised social norms and these are powerfully internally reinforced by what might for shorthand purposes be called the 'superego'.
