Document Summary

Chapter 3: each person judges well what he knows, and is a good judge of this. Chapter 4: all knowledge and rational choice seek good, aim of political science: of all the good things to be done, what is the highest happiness? www. notesolution. com. Masses: something straight forward, obvious, e. g. pleasure, wealth, honour. It is best to ignore one"s personal feelings when preserving the truth, especially for philosophers. Chapter 7: good varies b/w actions and skills. If everything that is done has some end, this will be the good among things done, and if there are several ends, these will be the goods: the chief good manifestly is something complete www. notesolution. com. Chapter 8: goods have been classified into 3 groups: external goods, goods of the soul, and goods of the body www. notesolution. com. Noblest is that which is the most just, and best is being healthy.

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.

With the question
An oceanographer is studying how the ion concentration in seawaterdepends on depth. She makes a measurement by lowering into thewater a pair of concentric metallic cylinders at the end of a cableand taking data to determine the resistance between theseelectrodes as a function of depth. The water between the twocylinders forms a cylindrical shell of inner radius ra, outerradius rb, and length L much larger than rb. The scientist appliesa potential difference ?V between the inner and outer surfaces,producing an outward radial current I. Let ? represent theresistivity of the water.
We realize that we integrate resistivity(Length/area) but then fromthe solution shown we integrate dR= resistivity(dr/(2pirL)) Weunderstand everything but why the L goes to the bottom of thisintegration.
Thanks.
