Kokoarvoissa

Kokoarvoissa is a term used in the context of Finnish language and literature, particularly in the works of the renowned Finnish author Mika Waltari. The term refers to the complete value or worth of something, often used to describe the intrinsic value of a person, idea, or object. In Waltari's novels, such as "The Egyptian" and "The Castle of Crossed Destinies," the concept of kokoarvoissa is central to the characters' motivations and actions. It emphasizes the idea that true value cannot be measured by external factors but is instead an internal, spiritual quality. The term is often used to contrast with the superficial or materialistic values that are prevalent in society. In essence, kokoarvoissa represents a deeper, more profound understanding of value that goes beyond mere monetary or physical worth.
