In this paper, it is argued that many social practices serve human purposes and also provide a setting for the emergence of environmental value.
The paper discusses some relationships between aesthetic and non-aesthetic reasons for valuing rural landscape, i.e., landscape shaped by predominantly non-aesthetic purposes.
The paper argues that ecological services are either too “lumpy” to price in incremental units (for example, climatic systems), priced competitively, or too cheap to meter. The paper considers counter-examples and objections.
In this paper, arguments for ecosystems service valuation are critically appraised and the case for a model leading to value pluralism is presented.
This paper addresses the leitmotif of Alan Holland’s work, which is argued here to be a defence of the existence and worth of nonhuman nature.
