Do humans have intrinsic value? In this episode of Coffee With Philosophers, Dr. Daniel Rubio discusses his paper "Intrinsically Good, God Created Them." Dr. Rubio offers a new conception of intrinsic value, then he casts doubt on arguments by Eric Wielenberg and Mark Murphy, who argue that creatures do not have intrinsic value. Rubio also examines the role of the absolute goodness of God and the additivity of intrinsic value in Murphy's argument. He further considers the reference objection and the challenges of interpreting religious language. Rubio provides advice for reading philosophy of religion and shares his views on capital punishment. Please grab a coffee and join us!
