Abstract

This paper is about The Good and its relation to various kinds of goodness. I will investigate what it means to say that something is a highest good, a final all-inclusive, complete, or greatest good, and I will consider some definitions of ‘instrumental’ and ‘non-instrumental’ goodness. I will prove several interesting theorems about The Good and explore some of the essential relationships between various kinds of goodness.

Keywords

the highest good; Summum Bonum; goodness; final goodness; non-instrumental goodness; the Good
