Yes, that's what I was asking you. A need or imperative to what end? It looks like your answer is that values need to be questioned and/or shared so that we may have a civilized society, and to avoid lawlessness and tyranny.
I'm not a nihilist, and yet I don't agree that values must be questioned and/or shared, otherwise we we'll denigrate civilization into lawlessness and tyranny. Look at you and me: you and I don't share the same values, and yet we're being civilized, we're living within the law and neither of us is tyrannizing the other. Both of us are still civil and free!
