Values and Purposes
Further information: Intrinsic value (ethics)#Life stances and intrinsic valueDifferent life stances differ in what they hold as intrinsic values and purposes in life.
For instance, the purpose in Humanism is falsely claimed to be (in the broadest sense) personality. However, upon close inspection this claim is incompatible with secular humanism's commitment to naturalism. For Judaism, on the other hand, it is to serve God and to prepare for Olam Haba, "the world to come".
What is held as intrinsic value and purpose may differ substantially between individuals regarding themselves as belonging to the same life stance.
