tionship between all human values. She argues that there is a deep connection between aesthetic and ethical values. Returning to the philosophical mode as in the initial stages of the book, she divides to show relationship. Citing Aristotle, McDowell, Wiggins, and Dahl, she shows that "moral judgements are not made independently of attention to intrinsic features" (p. 170). She ends with a warning that "aesthetics is a matter of basics" and when it "is characterized in such a way that its connection to our humanity is made manifest" (p. 179), we will understand the holistic nature of a meaningful life. Despite the sometimes arduous proving of a delicate and tenuous hypothesis, Eaton provides not only a theoretical underpinning for how we should help make the lives of others as aesthetically full as possible (a basic ideal for any landscape designer), but also an actual invitation to experience " the aesthetic for ourselves in the reading of her book and what it feels like when the quantitive object fallacy is applied. With patience, the reader can find many, much-needed new bases for criteria in design and philosophy of landscape in Eaton’s contribution to the field.
