This paper presents a critical analysis of the anthropocentric – nonanthropocentric ethical debate in the context of sustainable development. Traditionally, anthropocentrics are regarded as those who value the environment instrumentally, for the usefulness which certain features of nature have for humans. By contrast, nonanthropocentrics value nature intrinsically, in its own right. In this paper, such a simple bi-modal representation of ethical value is criticized for being too vague. Instead, by examining five dimensions of ethical value, the object of environmental value, the nature of value, the source of value, the theory of value and the attribution of value, it is possible to construct a logically coherent set of environmental ethics which can fully address the concept and implementation of sustainable development. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.
