permaculture

[jason brown <jasonbrown644@hotmail.com>]

Hello, my name is Jason Brown. I did my Perma cert this summer with Scott 
Pittman in NM. (HI SCOTT!) 
 
I am currently doing a masters degree in forestry. While the material is 
amazing and I am learning a lot. There has been a consistant mechanistic 
world view expressed and assumed. I am working on a paper analysis for the 
class and would like to include a critique of the mechanistic world view. 
 
1) any references that come to mind on forestry, holism, mechanistic science, 
general philosophy of science...
 
2) What are your thoughts one the convergence of western science and other 
world views. Clearly permaculture uses plenty of the things we have learned 
from science, but is critical of its rigid institutions and assumptions... 
 
thanks!
