My name is Peter Critchley. I am a PhD philosopher and historian whose work is organised under the heading of Being and Place and explores the themes of proximal relations, appropriate scale, and dwelling in place. 

Being and Place is an interdisciplinary research project which spans a number of subject areas a view to uniting the two great wings of moral, philosophical, and scientific thought: contemplation and action, objectivity and subjectivity, theoretical reason (the realm of science, fact) and practical reason (the realm of politics, ethics, artifice, will, visions, and values). Being and Place weaves the various subject disciplines into a coherent worldview in an attempt to counteract the baneful effects of academic specialisation and metaphysical fragmentation.
