Recent work has alerted us to the fact that the traditional way of explicating extrinsic value, as simply non-intrinsic value, leads to the conflation of a number of very different kinds of value. Section 2 contains a discussion of this debate about varieties of extrinsic value. Finally, Section 3 focuses on recent attacks on the very coherence of the intrinsic/extrinsic distinction and its role as a demarcation line between fundamental... (More)
