🌐❓Why #Reality is #Relations Not #Objects – Do We Need a New #Philosophy of the #NaturalSciences?

Modern #metaphysics does not need to hide behind the natural #sciences. Rather, it serves as a compass for a scientific-theoretical framework.

Vineyard Gazette: BioBlitz is a Competitive Creature Feature. “Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket have each conducted individual bioblitz’s in summers past, but when Sarah Bois of the Linda Loring Nature Foundation on Nantucket proposed an inter-Island event, members of the Vineyard’s BiodiversityWorks agreed that some healthy competition could go a long way.”

Columbia Gorge News: Discovery Center’s Historic Photo Archive online, open to public. “Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and Museum has restored their Historic Photo Archives online…Thanks to a grant from the City of The Dalles, the public now can view more than 30,600 images from the museum’s vast photo collection.”

The big #mystery here is: Where does the environment end, and where does an isolated #system begin?

Sciences as Merely Palliative

“All the sciences, be they natural or social sciences, can help humanity only partially because they can only help one alleviate the symptoms, and that, too, only temporarily because as long the disease called ignorance festers inside, it will keep producing some new symptom or the other to which the scientists have to keep responding anew. What is that ignorance? Think and find out.”

#Research doesn’t work by looking back, patting ourselves on the back, and telling each other how great #science was in the past.

Museum für Naturkunde Berlin: Taking the collection into the future. “The aim is to safeguard the historically accumulated collection in the long term, to digitise it and to make it accessible worldwide. Until now, many objects have been stored in old cupboards and were only documented or available digitally to a limited extent. Through conservation measures, structured data collection and […]

The Guardian: A bonanza for fans of the natural world: the digital library sharing 64m pages of scientific knowledge with everyone. “Today, however, the future of the world’s largest open-access digital library for biodiversity literature is under threat. Earlier this year the Smithsonian Institution, which has faced severe funding cuts under the Trump administration, stopped hosting the […]
