This habit of Nature NGOs to use weasel-words to get their way makes my blood boil. Back in 2016, at 'Artists, Farmers, & Philosophers' in Barnard Castle, Dr Paul Knights called this "farming" venture out as having an agenda from the start. And so it proves. www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/2504990...

'People need to be told the truth about what is happening to our upland farms'

THE iconic sheep who wander the fells and the shepherds who still ply their ancient trade by tending to their needs and keep are fast disappearing…

#LocalKnowledge #Twitter #Heidegger I've yet to fall for bluesky in the way I did for twitter. All too safe, soft-left, and echo-chambery. Being rather more left, but advocating on behalf of a largely Tory voting rural grassroots, I still feel at home on twitter. 1/3

#FarmingAndPhilosophy #Heidegger At the end of a side road off a side road, amongst bleak moorland and pasture, a little idyll emerges, the farm of one of my clients. Her great-grandfather planted trees and had many dykes built such that here in 2025, a truly magical locale is the result. 1/?

Mayburgh Henge A solitary survivor of what is thought to have been four standing stones in the interior of this remarkable monument. It's massive enclosing bank was probably largely taken from the near by river ‐ 'Neolithic' terraforming of the wider landscape. #StandingStoneSunday #Archaeology 🏺

Large trapezoidal shaped standing stone with small cairn like scatter at its base. Stands in flat interior of larger monument, surface of flat winter scorched grass extends beyond to large circular bank. Upon bank grow large leafless trees, silhouetted against cloudy sky.

#LocalKnowledge #HeftedToHill Back in 2018, I worked with photographers Louise Taylor and Richard Glynn on a project with hill farmers that led directly to my current research on the philosophy of local knowledge. The article begins "We had to chuckle." teesdalemercury.co.uk/country-life...

European philosophy has led us to believe that our experience takes place in our heads, courtesy of a mind which processes sensory perceptions of the world. Both Dewey and Heidegger see this as a philosophical decapitation having monstrous consequences for the planet. The philosopher. By me.

#LocalKnowledge #Heidegger In Being & Time, Heidegger describes 2 bearings we have towards the world, one modern(since Descartes) and one ancient. The modern, scientific bearing, gives us 'Nature', a realm of objective entities from which we stand apart and spectate upon. 1/2

Not only is this where I'm walling just now, it's where my main PhD case study on "local knowledge" is based. The knowledge held by those that work this expanse of land, knowledge about all manner of things, is unique to them and rich in relevance to environmental policy action 1/2

I'm going to start posting about my work on the philosophical horizons of local knowledge. My UK case studies include hill farmers and crofters. #Heidegger and #Dewey are the key philosophers for grounding this work. I hope you'll enjoy. #LocalKnowledge #FieldPhilosophy #GrassrootsOntology
