What framework constitutes a basis for valuescience practice and how can we use that framework to assess the import of practicing valuescience? (120 words) 1. In this course what do we mean and understand by “ecology”? 2. How in this course have we explained what Lewis Mumford meant when fifty years ago he wrote, “Henceforth all thinking worthy of the name must be ecological”? 3. What do we mean and understand by “human ecology”? 4. Sketch a framework for analysis using human ecology. 5. What overarching basis for value is evident in this framework? 6. In valuescience what do we mean and understand by “culture”? 7. What benefits may we reap by defining “culture” as we do in valuescience? 8. How might we argue that culture is a singularly important factor in human ecology? 9. How may we use science to assess cultural information? 10. How may we support a claim that valuescience is meta-value?
