Intrinsic value (ethics)

Intrinsic value is a type of value that has to do with ethics, or what we believe is important and meaningful. It means that something has worth beyond what is tangible and measurable. For example, when people talk about the value of kindness, they mean that it's worth more than what you can pay for it. Intrinsic value is about how we measure our own personal worth and the value that comes from the things we do, rather than the things we own.
