| Abstract: | In response to the new conditions of science in its social context, with increasing turbulence and uncertainty, the idea of Post-Normal Science has been developed. Its theoretical core is the task of quality-assurance; it argues the need for new methods, involving extended peer communities. The Post-Normal Science approach should not be interpreted as an attack on the accredited experts, but rather as assistance. |
