20 Value eclecticism diverges from moral pluralism here because the latter assumes
that there are many values and that they will not converge, so any choice
between values will involve a loss of value. Put differently, an argument for
convergence is an argument against pluralism.

22 Several writers make a similar distinction between weak/strong, soft/hard and
human-centred/human-instrumental anthropocentrism (Luke 1988 ;Norton 1991 ;
Barry1999a; Dobson 2000 ).
