ABSTRACT
This chapter suggests that an experience's capacity to do so will generally track the location of the relevant items and relationships within a subject's particular evaluative space. The notion of an evaluative space is useful simply for purposes of conceptualizing differences of value between experiences. In general, experiences that involve experiential assessment of items, objects, and events that one finds highly significant, highly meaningful, or in some other way important, significant or good will tend to be more valuable – or disvaluable, depending on the relationship between the item and one's assessment in the context of one's own evaluative space. All humans, and all entities psychologists would consider conscious in anything like the way that they are conscious, possess an evaluative space. The chapter aims to provide one fruitful way to conceive of differences in the value that one's different experiences bear.
