Leif Wenar (KCL): “The Value of Unity”

Abstract: This is a new theory of intrinsic value – of what is good in itself. Its formal approach appears to systematize many of our firm evaluative judgments, while explaining the nature and limits of value pluralism, and explicating the relation between “the right” and “the good.”
