SUMMARY:John Muir’s Educational Vision: Perceiving the “Seamless Beauty” of Nature
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Matthew Farrelly\, PhD Candidate\, History & Education\, University of Wisconsin – Madison supported by Friends of John Muir’s Birthplace. \nThursday 4th June\, 7pm at Dunbar Town House Museum & Gallery. \nFree\, booking required. Please email trust@jmbt.org.uk or call 01368 865899 to book a place. \n“For this talk\, I’ll sketch a picture of John Muir’s life mission: to impart something of his own visionary perception of the world for the personal transformation of others\, to awaken them to the wonders and worth of other-than-human nature. Muir sought to educate\, inviting children and adults to a way of perceiving and living in relationship to the natural world that was unified and coherent\, capable of holding together many ways of perceiving and interpreting the world in the integrity of what he called a “seamless beauty.” I’ll present a picture of how Muir sought to impart this holistic perception of the world\, shaped as it was by his experiences-in-place – not least\, Dunbar and a synthetic philosophy that combined scientific\, religious\, and poetic ways of knowing and being in the world. Muir cut against the grain then – and now – arguing\, as he did\, against reducing our vision to one paradigm or mode of perception to the exclusion of others. I’ll show how Muir offered a “living metaphor” to hold together such a coherent vision – the palimpsest – and how Muir’s vision of a “seamless beauty” is ever-timeless and most especially timely.”
