Abstract: I critically analyze Kevin Elliott's A Tapestry of Values in order to tease out his views on the nature and status of values or value judgments in the text.I show there is a tension in Elliott's view that is closely connected to a major lacuna in the philosophical literature on values in science: the need for a better theory of values.
