Abstract

It is essential to argue that the concept of intrinsic value has crucial importance in ethics. There is a wide spectrum of morality. They have fundamentally good or terrible selves. We can begin to come to terms with concerns of virtue and vice, right and wrong, and so on by considering what we mean by intrinsic goodness and badness.Keywords: paramount, goodness, intrinsic, ethics.1. : IntroductionMany ways philosophers try to clarify the concept of intrinsic value- sometimes from deontological way of explaining and sometimes from consequentialists’ perception. Whatever the path of discussion, Human life always wants a good life in good environment and the major ethical theories recognize to promote what makes something good or what is that something that is intrinsic.2. : Plato, Aristotle and KantThe concept of intrinsic value has been interpreted in many ways by various thinkers. Plato used the Sun as a metaphor for the Good. 1 He maintained that both are of great worth, but that the Good is like the Sun in that it is too brilliant to look at directly with the naked eye or mind.According to Plato, the essence of Goodness is the most difficult and final thing to comprehend in the cosmos of Knowledge. Realizing its existence leads one to the conclusion that it is the source of all that is good and just in the ancient world; in the visible world, it created light and the lord of light, and in the intelligible world, it created knowledge and truth. Without a vision like this, it's impossible to make good choices, whether personal or political.
