This restriction may be compatible with Moore’s isolation version of the essential value test. It may be possible to have all the affective, cognitive, conative, and desiderative components of the reaction component in a mind which is alone in a world. I have no firm view on this, especially because it raises questions about internalism and externalism about mental content. © 2006 by Adam Swenson

For example, Rabinowicz and Ronnow-Rasmussen write “on our view, the claim that a certain value is final does not imply that it must be non-derivative. We interpret final value…by contrasting it with value as a means (instrumental value) and value as a part (contributive value). What is non-derivatively valuable must be valuable for its own sake, but not necessarily vice-versa.” Rabinowicz and Ronnow-Rasmussen (2003), 392. 7 Moore (1903), 143.

Chisholm (1976), 114. An abstract and necessary x exists in every possible world, including worlds in which it has no concrete instances —that is, worlds in which it does not obtain. For example, the abstract property of squareness would exist but not obtain in a world populated only by circles and cylinders. 11

Indeed, Moore’s own view is unclear on this point. In saying that books and works of art can have intrinsic value he sometimes seems to be endorsing an object view. 17 The example is from O'Neill (1992). © 2006 by Adam Swenson
