something that is intrinsically good cannot be extrinsically good.

Question

is this true or false? this is a philosophy question

Answer 1

False. Something that is intrinsically good can be extrinsically good, but does not have to be. Intrinsic means internal, or essential. Extrinsic means external, or non essential. So something that has a positive component and a positive consequence is both intrinsically and extrinsically good.
