To study for Exam #3, write out answers the following questions.  Be sure to answer the questions completely -- don't assume that the reader knows anything about the topic; don't assume that the reader already knows the details of the stories that are used in the arguments.  Answer these questions so that a friend of yours -- who knows nothing about philosophical ethics -- would go away knowing the answers to these questions.

1. (a) What is the fundamental project of axiology?
    (b) What is the distinction between intrinsic goodness and extrinsic goodness.  Define these terms and explain the distinction by means of examples.
    (c) What is intrinsic value?
    (d) Why would anyone care about doing axiology?
