"Men value things in three ways: as useful, as pleasant or sources of pleasure, and as excellent, or as intrinsically admirable or honorable"

According to Mortimer Adler, men assess the worth of things in 3 various requirements. The first is their effectiveness or usefulness. The 2nd is their capability to generate enjoyment or be sources of pleasure. The 3rd is their quality or intrinsic worth, which refers to the admiration or honor that something is worthy of just for being what it is. Essentially, he is saying that males rate things based upon their functionality, enjoyment element, and intrinsic esteem.
