Intrinsic Value - Concept and Warrant

Klappentext This book explores the justification of our beliefs about intrinsic value. Zusammenfassung This book addresses some basic questions about intrinsic value: What is it? What has it? What justifies our beliefs about it? The author defends the existence of a plurality of intrinsic goods! the thesis of organic unities! and the view that some goods are 'higher' than others.
