Transcendental Dimensions,
If positive emotions are intrinsically good then by what criterion do you decide that positive emotions less intense than outright ecstasy but for a longer period of time is better than outright ecstasy for a shorter period of time?
If positive emotions are intrinsically good then by what criterion do you make 'wise' judgments if really anything that can get you to the height of excitement is intrinsically good?
And by what criterion do you judge 'wisdom' to be good at all if intrinsic goodness is just positive emotion?
Please answer all of my questions separately.
