	Goodness and value theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since instrumental goods are always tied to other goods, it may be said (for instance, in deontological ethics) that the values by which one lives must ultimately be intrinsic.
		Welfarist theories of value are those which say that that which is good, and hence valuable, are due to their effects on the wellbeing of persons.
		The idea that the ultimate good exists and is not orderable but is globally measurable is reflected in various ways in classical economics, green economics, welfare economics and the Gross National Happiness and measuring well-being theories, all of which focus on various ways of assessing progress towards that goal, a so-called Genuine Progress Indicator.

		Values individualism is the view that only individual lives (or their eudaimonia) are intrinsically valuable; and so they are valuable not merely as a means to the flourishing of society.
		Values collectivism is the view that individual lives (or their eudaimonia) are only instrumentally valuable, i.e., good only as a means to, or as an outcome of the flourishing of society; the flourishing of society (whatever this might be) is the only intrinsically good thing.
		The goodness of a particular experience, of an individual's whole life, of society, and of an ecosystem, are all worth having for their own sake, and not merely as a means to something else.

		Values play an important part in everyday life; everyone has their own set of beliefs about what is and isn't good.
		He maintains that "good" is a second-order property, a quantifier of qualities: to call a thing good is to contend that it is all there under its concept.
		One non-religious theory of value, the evolutionary ethic, holds that humanity will destroy itself if it continues to pursue happiness (or pleasure, eudaimonia or flourishing) as the intrinsic good and that the only choice of intrinsic good that can be pursued indefinitely without leading to extinction is total creativity.

	Information Headquarters: Goodness and value theory
		Moral v other goods There's an important difference between the words "morally good" as applied to persons and actions, as when we say that Mary's a morally good person and her honesty is good, and "good" in other senses, as when we say that a banana split is good.
		Goodness as a property One problem is that 'goodness' seems not to be definable, and therefore it is sometimes thought not to be a real property of the world.
		Values subjectivism states that to answer the question, "What things are intrinsically good?" we need only answer a further question, "Well, what do I, or what does my group, want not merely as a means to something else, but for itself?" But there are clear problems with this theory.

		Goodness and value theory affects political economy, which sets relative valuations on factors of production.
		For this and other reasons, conceptual metaphor theories argue against both subjective and objective conceptions of value and meaning, and focus on the relationships between body and other essential elements of human life.

	The Polynomic Theory of Value
		Moral goodness concerns right and wrong actions; ethical goodness concerns what is good for human life, including right actions; and aesthetic goodness concerns what is simply good-in-itself, whether morally, in human life, or quite generally.
		It is therefore better to call hortative and aesthetic value "latitudinarian," since it allows a "latitude" of goods and denies that there is a best life or a supreme good across a range of goods for human life.
		The independence of manners from moral goodness is revealed in life and in literature by people who have good manners but are morally evil, and by those with very bad manners who are morally good.

	The New Friesian Theory of Religious Value
		Religious value is more complex than aesthetic value because three forms of opposition mark off each of the three poles of the sacred and its two opposites.
		If the divine presence in a temple is of value to a community because of the protection that the god provides, the desecration of the temple may not harm the god, but it may certainly harm the community, as the means of pleasing and accessing the god is compromised.
		Numinous value, however, is polynomicly independent of other forms of evaluation: religious practices may be repugnant, the gods (or God) may do bad things, or sacred objects may be ugly or repulsive.

		On this construal, all and only virtue theories in ethics define rules (rightness) in terms of the source of an action in an ethical virtue; and by analogy, all and only virtue theories in epistemology define rules (justification) in terms of the source of a belief in an intellectual virtue.
		On Zagzebski’s preferred motivation-based account, the goodness of virtues is based on the goodness of the agent’s motives, and this form of goodness is conceived as intrinsic, not derived.
		Since in her book she allows that there is room within virtue theory to accommodate different views of the relationship between the virtues and the Good, to say as she sometimes appears to that Sosa’s account is not a form of virtue theory because its definition of virtue is consequentialist, would clearly be inconsistent.

	Axiology - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		It is often thought to include ethics and aesthetics—philosophical fields that depend crucially on notions of value—and sometimes it is held to lay the groundwork for these fields, and thus to be similar to value theory and meta-ethics.
		The term was used in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but in recent decades, value theory has tended to replace it in discussions of the nature of value or goodness in general.
		One area in which research continues to be pursued is so-called formal axiology, or the attempt to lay out principles regarding value with mathematical rigor.
