“Extrinsic value is the value objects, empirical things, have to the measure that they meet the demands of belonging to a class as determined by the intension of an analytic concept.”

“The intension of an analytic concept arises from the abstraction of the common qualities of a group of things.”

“Intrinsic valuation is the value to be found in any uniquely individual object not subject to limitations of those values shared in common with some class of other individuals”

“Scientific axiology arises from the unfolding of the following axiom: Value is the degree in which a thing possesses the set of qualities corresponding to the set of attributes in the intension of its concept.”

“I put value in things. These children, having no things, put value in God. I put my trust in relationships; these children, having already seen relationships fail, put their trust in the Lord.”
