THE IDEA OF THE SACRED
What does it mean to say that human life is intrinsically important?
Something is instrumentally important if its value depends on its useful-
ness, its capacity to help people get something else they want. Money
and medicine, for example, are only instrumentally valuable: no one
thinks that money has value beyond its power to purchase things that
people want or need, or that medicine has value beyond its ability to
cure. Something is subjectively valuable only to people who happen to
desire it. Scotch whiskey, watching football games, and lying in the sun
are valuable only for people, like me, who happen to enjoy them. I do
not think that others who detest them are making any kind of a mistake
or failing to show proper respect for what is truly valuable. They just
happen not to like or want what I do.
Something is intrinsically valuable, on the contrary, if its value is
independent of what people happen to enjoy or want or need or what is
good for them. Most of us treat at least some objects or events as
intrinsically valuable in that way: we think we should admire and
protect them because they are important in themselves, and not just if

that
great paintings, for example, are intrinsically valuable. They are valy-
able, and must be respected and protected, because of their inherent
quality as art, and not because people happen to enjoy looking at them
or find instruction or some pleasurable aesthetic experience standing
before them. We say that we want to look at one of Rembrande’s
self-portraits because it is wonderful, not that it is wonderful because we
want to look at it. The thought of its being destroyed horrifies us
seems to us a terrible desecration—but this is not just because or even
if that would cheat us of experiences we desire to have. We are horrified
even if we have only a very small chance of ever seeing the painting
anyway—perhaps it is privately owned and never shown to the public,
or in a museum far away—and even if there are plenty of excellent
reproductions available!
We treat not just particular paintings or other works of art that way,
but, more generally, human cultures. We think it a shame when any
distinctive form of human culture, especially a complex and interesting
one, dies or languishes. Once again, this cannot be fully explained
merely in terms of the contribution that cultural variety makes to the
excitement of our lives. We create museums to protect and sustain
interest in some form of primitive art, for example, not just because or
if we think its objects splendid or beautiful, but because we think it a
terrible waste if any artistic form that human beings have developed
should perish as if it had never existed. We take much the same attitude
toward parts of popular or industrial culture: we are troubled by the
disappearance of traditional crafts, for example, not just if we need what
it produced—perhaps we do not–but because it seems a great waste
that an entire form of craft imagination should disappear.
Is human life subjectively or instrumentally or intrinsically valuable?
