Abstract

ABSTRACT Explaining the potential value of intelligence analysis requires substantial engagement with the full range of potential approaches to defining ‘value’ in ethics/value theory. This paper explores a frequently neglected potential perspective: an ‘internalist’ approach that defines value in terms of something’s internal characteristics (and not its external consequences). Specifically, this essay develops and defends the explanatory power of internalist approaches in terms of their theoretical fit with established knowledge about value theory, their specificity and precision, and their explanatory scope and fruitfulness in generating potential new approaches to thinking about a range of other issues in intelligence studies.
