The KLI just hosted a Virtual #KLIColloquium open to the public! Exciting to see new faces! David Ludwig offered a unique blend of science engagement X philosophy to bring phil from the abstract to impact real world, social-environ issues. Here's /a thread/ summarizing his talk: 
Sustainability development projects often fail because systems are complex &problems are wicked. A crucial source of failure is epistemic: not integrating local expertise. But how can we integrate diff ontologies, knowledge, values, esp those incommensurable with Western science?
Ludwig shows how #philsci can help. Local & scientific knowledge are created & validated in different ways, intertwined with diff values &ontologies. How to proceed? We can't simply stack them up into one happy family. But no need to give in to nihilist incommensurability either.
