Nature and Value
Today, as we confront an unprecedented environmental crisis of our own making, it is more urgent than ever to consider the notion of nature and our place within it.This book brings together essays that individually and as a whole present a detailed and rigorous multidisciplinary exploration of the concept of nature and its wider ethical and political implications. A distinguished list of scholars take up a broad range of questions regarding the relations between the human subject and its natural environment: when and how the concept of nature gave way to the concept of natural resources; the genealogy of the concept of nature through political economy, theology, and modern science; the idea of the Anthropocene; the prospects for green growth; and the deep alienation of human beings in the modern period from both nature and each other.By engaging with a wide range of scholarship, they ultimately converge on a common outlook that is both capacious and original.The essays together present a revaluation of the natural world that seeks to reshape political and ethical ideals and practice with a view to addressing some of the fundamental concerns of our time. Nature and Value features widely known scholars in a broad swath of disciplines, ranging from philosophy, politics, and political economy to geology, law, literature, and psychology.They include Jonathan Schell, David Bromwich, James Tully, Jedediah Purdy, Robert Pollin, Jan Zalasiewicz, Carol Rovane, Sanjay Reddy, Joanna Picciotto, Anthony Laden, Nikolas Kompridis, Bina Gogineni, Kyle Nichols, and the editor, Akeel Bilgrami.

Solidarity: Nature, Grounds, and Value : Andrea Sangiovanni in Dialogue
In a world of deep political divisions and rising inequality, many of us feel the need for some form of collective resistance and transformative joint action.Calls for solidarity are heard everywhere. This book presents a critical proposal to guide our reflection on what solidarity is and why it matters. How is solidarity distinct from related ideas such as altruism, justice and fellow-feeling?What value does acting in solidarity with others have?In his lead essay, Andrea Sangiovanni offers compelling answers to these questions, arguing that solidarity is not just a fuzzy stand-in for feelings of togetherness but a distinctive social practice for an anxious age.His ideas are then put to the test in a series of responses from some of the world’s foremost philosophers and political theorists.

Value
'Value' seems like an elusive and abstract concept.Nonetheless, notions of value underpin how we understand our lives, from discussions about the economic contribution of different kinds of work and productive activity, to the prices we pay for the things we consume.So what is value, and where does it come from? In this new book, Frederick Harry Pitts charts the past, present and future of value within and beyond capitalist society, critically engaging with key concepts from classical and neoclassical political economy.Interrogating the processes and practices that attribute value to objects and activities, he considers debates over whether value lies within commodities or in their exchange, the politics of different theories of value, and how we measure value in a knowledge-based economy. This accessible and intriguing introduction to the complexities of value in modern society will be essential reading for any student or scholar working in political economy, economics, economic sociology or management.

Nature should value us because we are an integral part of the ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance and diversity of life on Earth. Our ability to think, create, and innovate has led to advancements in technology, medicine, and conservation efforts that benefit not only ourselves but also the environment. Additionally, our capacity for empathy and compassion allows us to appreciate and protect the natural world, ensuring its preservation for future generations.

How do I know which value is the x-value and which value is the y-value?
In a coordinate pair (x, y), the x-value represents the horizontal position on the graph, while the y-value represents the vertical position. The x-value comes first in the pair and is always written before the y-value. When plotting a point on a graph, the x-value tells you how far to move horizontally, and the y-value tells you how far to move vertically.

What is the difference between future value, present value, and net present value?
Future value is the value of an investment at a specific date in the future, taking into account the interest or return it will earn over time. Present value, on the other hand, is the current value of a future sum of money, taking into account the time value of money and discounting it back to its current value. Net present value is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a specific time period, used to determine the profitability of an investment or project. In summary, future value looks at the value of an investment in the future, present value looks at the current value of future cash flows, and net present value compares the present value of cash inflows and outflows to determine the profitability of an investment.
