ABSTRACT
The economistic thinking about environment which this book has been largely engaged in criticising is founded in a certain way of approaching questions of value: a way which nevertheless answers clearly to something very important in the idea of value itself. The difficulties with such thinking which become prominent from the environmental perspective are unlikely, therefore, to reveal merely the contours of a mistake; rather, they may help to shape our understanding of the nature of value-judgement, considered as a human practice of engagement with the world at large.
