Document Summary

* playing games is the fundamental intrinsically good activity. ** playing games is the ideal model of intrinsically good activities: and 3. There"s a goal you"re supposed to achieve and a way you"re supposed to achieve it. There"s rules that help make it what it is. Regulative rules help you to play the game well (eg. don"t fall down, you shouldn"t sacri ce your queen in chessetc) There"s a speci c attitude taken towards the game. Rst pass: to play a game is to seek a goal through inef cient means. Eg. golf; the goal is to get the ball in a cup, but instead of the ef cient way of picking it up and putting it in the cup, you go through putting it around. Lusory goal: a goal that can only be described in terms of the game. Prelusory goal: a goal that can be described independent of the game/in non-game terms.

Philosophy

Reflection Question: What do you value?

I value vacations and playing video games. I put forward the idea these are valuable things to me. However, playing video games is only an instrumental value. In other words, young students play video games because they receive joy and satisfaction from playing video games. Do you agree?

Question 1: Is traveling the world (vacations abroad) desirable because it is instrumentally valuable, i.e., only valuable because it will help you achieve or acquire other things you desire? Is this because you think it is bad (unpleasant) in itself or just neutral (neither desirable nor undesirable)? Or is traveling the world also intrinsically valuable, i.e. valuable for its own sake? If so, why?

Question 2: Is playing video games (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch) desirable because it is instrumentally valuable, i.e., only valuable because it will help you achieve or acquire other things you desire? Is this because you think it is bad (unpleasant) in itself or just neutral (neither desirable nor undesirable)? Or is playing video games also intrinsically valuable, i.e. valuable for its own sake? If so, why?

Intrinsic value vs. Instrumental Value

Philosophy Question: Is wisdom (philosophy) something you value most, which you consider most vital to living a good life?

Is wisdom something mostly intrinsically valuable and so desired solely for its own sake? Or is wisdom also instrumentally valuable and so desired also for the sake of something else you desire/want? If so, what?

Instrumental Value

You value most things instrumentally, that is, as a means to some end. Usually, this is obvious and trivial. For instance, you value a washing machine that works—purely for its useful function, or instrumental value.

Intrinsic Value

There are two notions of intrinsic value. It can be:

Valuable in itself
Valued by someone for its own sake

If something has intrinsic value in the first sense, this means that the universe is somehow a better place for that thing existing or occurring.
