By Chapter One of _Capital_, both Nature and human labor are sources of use-values. Only human labor is a source of exchange-values. ===== I know that. My question was trying to get at whether Marx was saying that even though nature is the source of use-values, it "in-itself" does or does not have value? In other words was he still operating within Lockean premises that nature has no value until somebody mixes her/his labor with it? Is the source of use-value [then on to exchange value] itself valuable and what kind of value, if so, is it? Do we have to expand the taxonomy of values given to us by M.? I ask because it is the source of a big rift in the green "movement" which needs to be ameliorated in some form different from the ick given by deep ecology. Ian
