Intrinsic value is an ethical and philosophic property. It is the ethical or philosophic value that an object has in itself or for its own sake, as an intrinsic property. An object with intrinsic value may be regarded as an end or (in Kantian terminology) end-in-itself. Intrinsic multism (from Latin multus many) holds that there are many things with intrinsic value. 2  In other words, this view may hold the instrinsic values of several life stances as intrinsically valuable.
