Traditional theism says that the goodness of everything comes from God. Moreover, the goodness of something intrinsically valuable can only come from what has it. Many conclude from these two claims that no creatures have intrinsic value if traditional theism is true. I argue that the exemplarist theory of the divine ideas gives the theist a way out. According to exemplarism, God creates everything according to ideas that are about himself, and so everything resembles God. Since God is wholly good in every way, and since ethical supervenience is true, it follows that creatures have intrinsic value.

创造的善良和上帝的善良:神圣的想法和创造价值的可能性

传统的有神论说,一切的善都来自上帝。此外,具有内在价值的东西的好处只能来自拥有它的东西。许多人从这两个主张中得出结论,如果传统的有神论是正确的,那么没有任何生物具有内在价值。我认为,神圣观念的典范理论为有神论者提供了一条出路。根据典型主义,上帝根据关于他自己的想法创造一切,因此一切都与上帝相似。既然上帝在各方面都是完全善的,而且伦理的附带是真实的,那么受造物就具有内在价值。
