description | Modernity has outlined the future as a space of freedom. This space is guaranteed by the coexistence of forecast models legitimized by procedures that guarantee internal consistency and are corroborated by observational data. But the coexistence of potentially effective models also requires a comparative evaluation that attributes appropriate likelihood values to the alternative scenarios that these models outline. Based on these assessments, the community is called upon to decide which models to adopt through a political practice capable of implementing choices that are aware of the constraints that the scientific paradigm poses and jointly consider the values and desires of that community. |
