 "Understanding science" may be such a good, being both worthwhile in and of itself, and as a means of achieving other goods.In these cases, the sum of instrumental (specifically the all instrumental value) and intrinsic value of an object may be used when putting that object in value systems, which is a set of consistent values and measures.The "intensity" of philosophic value is the degree it is generated or carried out, and may be regarded as the prevalence of the good, the object having the value.
