Social Science: An Imperfect Art

Abstract

Politics is almost always, in some measure, an argument about the future. And we cannot escape either the normative debates as to what kind of future we may want, or the empirical assessments as to the kinds of futures that may come. But how do we understand "the future"? One can assume that all outcomes are chance (or there are some magical formulas, like mantras of the rainmakers, to compel the clouds of nature).
