Intrinsic Multism
Intrinsic multism is accepting several objects as ends-in-themselves. Therefore, every object may have instrumental value for each of these objects. For example, in its simplest form, intrinsic bi-ism, holding two objects as ends, every object may have two separate instrumental values, termed end instrumental values. In this case, every object may have one end instrumental value for the first end and one end instrumental value for the other end.
For more complex intrinsic multistic lifestances, having more than two ends, then every object may have more than two end instrumental values.
