Moreover, as Arrow and others have insisted, there is a need to broaden the informational basis of social choice beyond mere voting. Amartya Sen has noted that this echoes Condorcet s advocacy of public (including women s) education, his interest in enriching social statistics and his commitment to the need for continuing public discussion (Sen 2009 94).

Utilitarianism, it has often been said, is the dominant framework guiding public policy (Wiggins 2006).

Following Amartya Sen we can factor Utilitarianism into three components for analytical convenience. For brevity, I will concentrate only on the aspects that are relevant to our discussion of environmental values.
