description In this essay, I discuss some ontological premises of the Methodological Assessment of the Diverse Values and Valuation of Nature through insights that come from a political ontology perspective. By shifting the discussion on the ontology of diverse values to the value of diverse ontologies, I problematize the divide between nature and culture that stands at the base of the Values Assessment and argue that commoning can be a process that preserves uncommons. This essay concludes with reflections on the importance of inter-epistemic alliances that aim at the creation of worlds in which many worlds fit and suggests that the Values Assessment and political ontology may be allies in commoning toward that end.
