Abstract: Although the natural value theory of nonanthropocentric environment ethics has a certain impact to the basic idea of the philosophical axiology, it can’t tell the difference between physical world and value world as the philosophical axiology does, thus sinking into the predicament of dualism. And evaluation theory, based on practice, and starting from the sociality of evaluative activity, regards natural value as a concrete historical concept embodied in the interaction between the multitude evaluation activity and the authority evaluation activity, and provides a broad avenue of research for settling the contradiction between human and nature.

Key words: dualism, value world, evaluation theory, natural value
