Those things valued in this way have “instrumental” value. But what about the objects that the instrumentally valuable objects are means to? In some cases, of course, objects may possess instrumental value by virtue of being means to objects that are themselves of no more than instrumental value (as means to still other objects). But eventually — or so the thought goes — we must reach objects that are valuable as “ends” or “for their own sake.” The objects that come at the end of these chains — those that are desired (or deserved to be desired) for their own sake— have intrinsic value in the second sense of the term.\""
