ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the distinction between those values that may be regarded as intrinsic or ultimate and those that should be characterized as more purely instrumental. Thus it would seem that there are six main aspects of intrinsic value Truth, Reality, Benevolence, Power, Beauty and Joy. All the others may be called instrumental with reference to the joy that they yield; but they are so inseparably bound up with that joy that they may be said to be involved in its intrinsic nature. In the meantime, having completed the general consideration of the three main aspects of intrinsic value, we pass to a brief study of the place of Religion, which appears to be intimately concerned with the apprehension of the supreme values. The general conclusion that intrinsic Value is found in the creation of Joy through the apprehension of Truth by means of Power; and the persistent effort to help in doing this is Goodness.
