James argues that when natural things have cultural value, they do not always have it as means to valuable ends. In many cases, they have value as parts of valuable wholes -- as parts of traditions, for instance, or cultural identities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJames develops his theory by investigating twelve real-world cases, ranging from the veneration of sacred trees to the hunting of dugongs.
