Changes in the Practice of Expertise : from the Search for a Rational Course
of Action to the Democratization of Knowledge and Choices.
Historical analysis shows that the practice of expertise has evolved from the idea of
constructing certainty to that of examining uncertainty. In the beginning, expertise
basically meant that an individual was specialized in an area of knowledge and that in
virtue of this specialization was able to make clear-cut decisions on issues concerning
that specific field. Since that time, the practice of expertise has taken on new forms
(counter-expertise, collective expertise), and we now have a multifaceted type of
expertise capable of articulating various types of knowledge and bringing together actors
from various fields. Its purpose is not only to estimate risk, but to point out lingering
uncertainties and to open the way for decisions which are not final and which can lead
to further investigation and revisable measures. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
