In environmental management, much emphasis is now being placed on understanding social processes and phenomena, and in linking the work of natural and social science researchers. However, despite many early calls, there has been little integration of the social sciences with natural sciences (e.g. Soule 1985). The reason I have put this diagram here is to demonstrate that there are fundamentally different forms of knowledge out there, there are really different systems of knowing and understanding the world and this is really what this talk is about – the different Philosophies that underpin the way the world is understood. They have their own inherent methodologies for saying knowledge is correct, they have their own vocabulary and they have their own outcomes.
Old lady/young lady – depends on how you look at it.
