On this view/interpretation
Hi
"There is a different account of value that we ought to consider here: the view that value consists in preference or desire satisfaction. [On] this view, knowledge and pleasure and so on are valuable when they are desired, and if they are not desired anymore they are not valuable anymore."
Notice how the author uses 'on' with 'view'. I've also seen 'on this interpretation'. Are those just typos? IN my view, they are.
Thanks!

"on this view" is not a phrase that I would naturally use in this way. However, I doubt that it is a typo in this case. I think it is a preference or style of the writer.

MustAskAre those just typos? IN my view, they are.No. It's "in my view", but when discussing the principles established within viewpoint itself, as is often done in academic work, it's very frequently "on this view". Here are a lot of examples:
