Abstract

Papers from famous philosophers and religious people dating from ancient to about 1600 A.D. are investigated and speculations are made as to what they felt they needed to protect −Man? Animal? Plant? Mineral? Or everything equally? We analyze their Value-views based on these four categories and propose a method to apply them to determine the single index for LCIA based on LIME (Life-cycle Impact-assessment Method based on End point modeling). Then we discuss the divergence of LCIA based on ancient philosophies.
