Drei Formen der Infragestellung der Bedeutsamkeit und Verlässlichkeit von wissenschaftlicher Expertise (Three forms of questioning the significance and reliability of scientific expertise) (2023)

unapi

Scientific expertise is questioned in different ways in various contexts. The frame of reference of these contestations varies, too. We distinguish between three forms of contestations: (1.) in the context of the sciences, where the reliability and validity of scientific knowledge is questioned; the frame of reference is scientificity. (2.) in the context of politics and policy, where the use of scientific expertise for decision-making is criticized. This critique refers to an insufficient problem-adequacy of scientific expertise. (3.) in the context of the transformation to a knowledge society, where the priority of scientific knowledge and scientific expertise towards other forms of knowledge and arguments is claimed. This kind of contestation rejects rational substantiation of political and administrative decisions in principle. Wissenschaftliche Expertise wird in unterschiedlichen Kontexten auf verschiedene Weise infrage gestellt. Ebenso variiert der Referenzrahmen, auf den sich die Infragestellungen beziehen. Im Text werden drei Formen der Infragestellungen unterschieden: (1.) im Kontext der Wissenschaften, hierbei werden Verlässlichkeit und Geltung des wissenschaftlichen Wissens hinterfragt, der Referenzrahmen für diese Art der Infragestellung bildet Wissenschaftlichkeit. (2.) im Kontext von Verwaltung und Politik, wo der Gebrauch der wissenschaftlichen Expertise für Entscheidungen kritisiert wird. Diese Kritik referiert im Allgemeinen auf eine nicht genügende sachliche Angemessenheit der wissenschaftlichen Expertise. (3.) im Kontext der Transformation zur Wissensgesellschaft, an der der Vorrang wissenschaftlichen Wissens und wissenschaftlicher Expertise gegenüber anderen Wissensformen und Argumenten beanstandet und damit die Referenz auf rationale Begründungen für politische und administrative Entscheidungen abgelehnt wird.
