Abstract | Even for persons with shared values, their world view or ontology choices make a significant difference when it comes to developing or endorsing policies. For instance, while an environmental economics ontology trusting in solutions from yet unknown technologies, from commodification of nature and from market forces is not a suitable basis for solving sustainability problems, an ontology of nested systems, with the environment the metasystem as in ecological economics, fits as the basis for developing substantial sustainable development strategies. Changing the world view is a necessary condition for successful sustainability policies, and transparency regarding the basic world views is crucial. |
