On the Intrinsic Value of Everything is an illuminating
introduction to fundamental questions in ethics. How--and to
what--we assign value, whether it is to events or experiences or
objects or people, is central to ethics. Something is intrinsically
valuable only if it would be valued for its own sake by all fully
informed, properly functioning persons. Davison defends the
controversial view that everything that exists is intrinsically
valuable to some degree. If only some things are intrinsically
valuable, what about other things? Where and how do we draw the
cutoff point? If only living creatures are intrinsically valuable,
what does this imply for how we value the environment? If
everything has intrinsic value, what practical implications does
this have for how we live our lives? How does this view fit with
the traditional theistic idea that God is the source of goodness
and truth? Both critics and proponents of the concept of intrinsic
value will find something of interest in this careful investigation
of the basic value structure of the world.
