I wonder, for example, if Homeric ethics posits any final-cum-intrinsic good, or if one may claim that all goods are in a way extrinsic, relating recursively in their valuation. And whence the notion of a thing chosen as absolutely final-cum-intrinsic? Does it represent the persistent normative force of absolutist moral claims, or a consequence of rational theories of causation and the summum bonum, or both?Magister Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014424379801392658noreply@blogger.com
