Later chapters discuss the metaphysical and metaethical aspects of the value that liberals can or should attach to nature, and deal with property rights and issues of sustainability. Concludes that liberal democracy is compatible with but cannot guarantee sustainability more or less than any other political system. Distributed by Taylor & Francis.
